Bridge

Bridge is a table lamp, a sculptural representation of the apparent simplicity that often lurks inside a good design. The concept is based on a natural, instinctive gesture, almost suggesting an ancestral game: a hand that folds a piece of paper and transforms it into a three-dimensional object. Designed by Francesco Meda, Bridge takes form from a single sheet of steel, cut by lasers and folded without joints to make a luminous bridge: a central body on which to attach the diffuser, resting on four lateral points. The straightforward character of the concept is also reflected in the user interface: the lamp turns on and off with a wave of the hand, requiring no direct physical contact. Originally self-produced in 2014 in a slightly different version than the one included in the Foscarini catalogue, Bridge is part of the permanent collection of the Design Museum of Triennale Milano – an illustration of the company’s constant commitment to make contemporary design research accessible for a wider audience. Available in two sizes and two materials and colours – polished brass with a transparent coating, and dark red matte coated steel – Bridge spreads uniform, elegant light on surfaces: bedside units, a desk or a table.
