Asteria Chandelier

Design: Alberto and Francesco Meda, 2025 for Foscarini.

Rigor and balance in the reduction to the essential: Asteria reinterprets the archetype of the traditional chandelier, whose curved aluminum arms, dynamically arranged, integrate light into the structure itself, in a perfect synthesis of function and decoration.

A suspension lamp with direct and diffused indirect light, Asteria stems from the desire to reinterpret the archetype of the traditional multi-arm chandelier through shape, materials, and LED technology. The arms, made of liquid-painted curved extruded aluminum, house an LED strip covered by a transparent silicone diffuser that guides the light upwards and sideways, tracing a thin luminous line that seems to float in space. They are mounted on a cylindrical body, also in liquid-painted aluminum, which integrates an original LED board for a downward-directed beam, separately dimmable thanks to the provision for double switching. Available in two color variants, dark red and titanium, in three single-tier sizes with six arms or in the Multi version with eighteen arms on three overlapping tiers, upon request.
