Foscarini Rituals - hand-blown Glas ceiling light The Rituals ceiling light from the Venetian premium lighting brand Foscarini looks as thin and delicate as a Japanese paper lantern. This rice paper effect is created by the filigran groove pattern that runs horizontally through the lampshade of the ceiling light. Rituals is not actually made of paper, but of high-quality, mouth-blown opal glass. The grooves in the glass surface are created using a special industrial process based on the craftsmanship of glass cutting. The glass is not twisted in the mould and is given the special decoration by a negative pattern in the casting mould. The fine grooves create a great interplay of light and shadow on the ceiling and surrounding walls. The simple, almost style-neutral design of the ceiling light allows it to be used in a variety of ways. Rituals can be easily combined with other types and sizes of lights from its family to make an even bigger impression as an ensemble. The designer couple Ludovica + Roberto Palomba have had their own design studio in Milan since 1994. They work for many international brands and have already received numerous awards, including the Compasso d'Oro, a well-known Italian industry prize.
