Postcards of Light
A photography project by Gianluca Vassallo for Foscarini brings some of the company’s lamps into the streets of Stockholm, Milan, New York.
The photographic project “Postcards of Light” took shape in occasion of 2017 Stockholm Furniture Fair, when Foscarini asked Gianluca Vassallo to take design to the streets: a different way of narrating the company’s presence in the cities of design through some of its most-loved models.
Lamps become protagonists and witnesses of the fragments of life brought by every passer-by.
“A postcard to bear witness to the joy of having been there, in the world, of having been there in the heart. Expressing the desire for someone, at any latitude, someone who is sharing the good fortune of being in the world with me now, at this moment, to be able to feel the grace with which I try to cross it, accompanied in each of my voyages by the light of the world and by the light Foscarini attempts to add, the light made by men, the light Foscarini gives to them. With the hope that just one, even, of the many who pass lightly over the present, will feel the desire to write on the back of these images: thanks for having given me light.”
