HEAVY METAL by Diesel for Foscarini look like they are straight from Badman's Gotham City. A simple vintage form is combined with a rough surface that reflects Diesel's rugged identity. Yet these lamps retains the elegant style of the roaring twenties.
HEAVY METAL is available as a floor and table lamp. The body is made of a metal that was subjected to a particular artisenal treatment: an acid bath changes the color and compactness of the material, making each piece unique and valuable.
The treatment is to give the material, by its nature dark and cold, reflections of natural oxidation - green, ocher, blue - usually obtained only through the passage of time. The visible weldings further underline the decisive character of HEAVY METAL. Light is spread through an opal glass disk in the diffuser. HEAVY METAL lamps are made by hand, so no two are alike.
The uplighter is composed of three legs interspersed by two circular supporting surfaces (one fixed and the other removable and branded Diesel). The diffuser is facing upward but the light source illuminates even down on the floor, making this version of Heavy Metal perfect to be compared to a sofa or a chair. With two shelves Heavy Metal can also be used to rest your book or drink.
With the desktop version, the light is diffused and up- and downwards, creating a nice soft atmosphere.
