Table lamp with diffused light. The diffuser is made of five layers of mouth-blown, glossy, jacketed glass. The inner layer of glass, in a pale yellow “straw” hue, creates a warmer light and a more intense color. The “warm white” version is ivory when on and remains white when off.

During the 1990s, Rodolfo Dordoni designed a collection of table, floor, and pendant lamps for Foscarini, featuring strikingly colored blown-glass diffusers and names that evoked natural elements: Fruits, Blossom, and Buds. Now, Buds is renewed once again, interpreting contemporary taste to achieve a refined richness and attention to materials. The star of the project, as always, is the blown glass, crafted by hand in five layers, immediately noticeable thanks to the diffuser’s wider cut. With the new color range—cool brown, cool gray, bamboo green, and white, with a straw-like interior—Buds takes on a dual character: warm when the lamp is on and cool when it is off.
