The allure of a woman’s braid is the original inspiration for the Tress lamp family. A design idea brought to life by foscarini through the development of a completely original technological process, in which a ribbon of fiberglass and resin, interwoven with an orderly randomness, becomes both the structure and decoration of the lamp. Tress changes personality according to the color: light and discreet in the white version, strong and decisive in the black version, volcanic and totemic in the red version, where the contrast between interior and exterior is even more striking.

In the floor-standing version, the frame incorporates the same power cable and simultaneously serves as structure, decoration, and shield, creating an unprecedented interplay of solids and voids, light and shadow. The light that diffuses through the lamp produces a particularly captivating effect thanks to two separate light sources: one in the lower position fully illuminates the interior and highlights the graphic presence of the frame, while the upper one reflects light onto the ceiling. In the medium version, with a single light source at the base within the diffuser, the dimmer on the transparent cable functions as both a gradual light intensity regulator and an on/off switch.
