Product Information
Full details
The Foscarini Spokes 2 pendant light in Copper is designed for those seeking a unique, sculptural lighting element that complements minimal, boho, or contemporary interiors. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive cage shade, crafted from filigree steel tubes, which softens light and creates a textured illumination. A minor caveat is that the design offers limited direct light diffusion due to its structure. This pendant light is compatible with LED and dimmer options, allowing for adjustable ambiance, and features a minimal wire flex for a weightless appearance. It's IP20 rated and low maintenance, suitable for living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms.
