Foscarini Gem Pendant
The Foscarini Gem Pendant from designers Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba is a sculptural suspension light that celebrates glass as material. The oblate, translucent shade and pronounced surface texture make the Gem as much an object when unlit as it is a source of ambient illumination when switched on.
Formally the Gem is defined by a continuous horizontal pattern of irregular wavy ridges across the shade, producing an organic, tactile aesthetic. The fixture is suspended on a dual-cable system — a straight tension wire paired with a serpentine electrical lead — creating a deliberate visual contrast between structure and movement. The design is offered in two variants.
Construction centres on a white, translucent glass shade with a small circular cap at the top serving as the connection point for suspension and electrical components. The irregular surface and varying glass thickness are intentional craft cues that modulate the lamp's appearance and light output.
Light from the Gem functions as ambient, interior illumination: the rippled glass provides soft, varied diffusion and produces unexpected lighting effects as the shade refracts and scatters light. The fitting has an IP20 rating and is intended for indoor dry zones rather than wet or external locations.
Technical details such as supplied lamps, LED type, driver and dimming compatibility are not specified here; please consult the product technical sheet for exact electrical and installation information. The product carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
At Lighting Design Online we consider the Gem a design-led choice for interiors that need a considered focal pendant. We support specification with clear technical guidance and quality-focused advice to ensure the aesthetic intent is realised and the installation performs as expected on project sites.
