Shake Chandelier by Jacopo Foggini
About the Item
GENESIS of Methacrylate
While working for the family business, Jacopo Foggini discovers the versatile nature of methacrylate, a material generally used in the production of car reflectors.
Enchanted by the aesthetical and chromatic qualities of this thermoplastic resin, similar to glass yet tremendously light, Foggini starts experimenting its use since the late
‘90s.
METAMORPHOSIS of Methacrylate
With a machine of his own invention, Foggini melts methacrylate, and later polycarbonate, at 200°C transforming it into a filament that he then moulds with his hands cre-
ating luminous shapes and monumental artworks: labyrinths of coloured light, blurring the boundaries between art and design.
“the speed of execution is almost the same as that for the glass, however with my materials I can mould monumental artworks that are extremely lightweighted”.
ART of Methacrylate
After the debut in 1997, with an installation in Romeo Gigli’s space, follow the opening of his solo Gallery and the publishing of a book on the production of his unique
handmade pieces. Foggini’s luminous sculptures are part of permanent collections of prestigious institutions, among which The Haus der Musik in Wien, the Museum
of Decorative Arts in Montreal, the Gandhi Museum in New Delhi, the Triennale Design Museo in Milan, the Museum Expo in Shanghai, up to the restoration of Teatro
dell’Arte della Triennale in Milan. Through Edra, the Musée D’Orsay commissioned 220 chairs in limited edition, Nel blu dipinta di blu.
EXHIBITIONS and INSTALLATIONS
The creative path of exhibitions starts with Sinestesie in the current Fondazione Prada and Apnea at Acquario Civico in Milan. Foggini is then in New York with Installation
in favour of the Cancer research Foundation, in Dallas with Italian in collaboration with Neiman Marcus, the Acrylic Jungle in Milan and Spirula Spirula at Futur Salon du
Meuble a Parigi. A world tour that passes by, among the others, the National Museum of China in Beijing, Interior Design Fair in Munich, Art of Italian Design in Athens,
the Carrousel du Louvre, Centre George Pompidou, the Ministère de la Culture and l’Atelier Richelieu in Paris, the Royal College of Art and Sotheby’s in London, the Gale-
rie Karsten Greve in Koln and the nineteenth-century Teatro Lirico Rendano in Cosenza.
Foggini’s works reinterpret historical places, like the sixteenth-century church of San Paolo Converso with the huge heart Devotion and the arch of historic Porta Garibaldi,
where the monumental chandelier Plastic Palace is installed for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Turin. In the same year he reproduces the sea with a lumi-
nous installation at the Design Biennale in Gwangju, South Korea.
Ofigea is the 60 meters huge snake unrolling on the grass of the cloister at Università Statale in Milan, on the occasion of Greenery Design for Interni. It’s followed in the
same venue by (Re)fuse, auto ready-made unfolded across a surface of 80 sqm, then by 4000 modules of Golden Fleece, a 200sqm golden blanket designed for THINK
THANK by Interni. The Salone del Mobile attendance continues with Plasteroid, the 8 mt diameter blue planet and with TwentyFiveThousandCoffee, a chandelier made
of 25k coffee capsules for the 25th anniversary of Nespresso, an artwork that expresses the great versatility of its author. Guest of honour with Ingo Maurer at Moscow
Design Week, he presents Matrioska Super Hero, that decomposes the doll’s image on a contemporary gothic glass wall, a huge luminous disk, afterward installed at the
entrance of the Museo del Design della Triennale in Milan for the Salone del Mobile. The 1800 coloured modules of Flysch, made with various and futuristic materials,
were lit on the grass of Università Statale in Milan, the gigantic hearts Symbols illuminated the nineteenth-century theca at Chiostro della Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio, a
lightsome ceiling gives a gold shade to the central lounge of the Casino in Malta.
Gina chairs are upside-down for the surreal chandelier at the entrance of the Museo della Triennale in Milan.

Jacopo Foggini
Italian designer Jacopo Foggini creates playful modern furniture — he uses industrial materials in novel and exciting ways that frequently break with the constraints of conventional design. His chandeliers, vases and sculptural pieces have an ethereal quality, and each new work merges art and functionalism in rich and interesting ways.
Foggini was born in Turin in 1966. As a young man in the 1990s, he joined the family business in the industrial sector. Ever inventive, he modified a piece of machinery to heat a polymer called methacrylate and make a filament that could be molded with his hands. Foggini used the filament to produce large installations of the colorful spiraling material.
In 1997, Foggini held his first exhibition in the Milan boutique of friend and fashion designer Romeo Gigli. His next major career highlight came in 2006 when he was asked to design the Lampadario da Teatro for the Turin Winter Olympic Games. The chandelier illuminated the stage during a performance by opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. In 2011, he also designed a six-meter diameter matryoshka doll for Moscow Design Week.
One of the most important relationships over the course of Foggini's career has been with furniture manufacturer Edra. Foggini and Edra routinely collaborate on striking tables and chairs, among them the sinuous Capriccio table and the sculptural swivel Ester chair.
Foggini has exhibited at more than 60 venues and galleries all over the world and he has shown his work numerous times at Milan Design Week. He has also designed installations at prestigious hotels, restaurants, theaters and showrooms. Just some of his many projects include the Nhow Hotel in Milan, the Riad Enija Hotel in Marrakech, the Milan Bentley Showroom, the Etro showroom in Istanbul and Vapiano restaurants.
In 2021, Foggini launched the new A’mare collection with Edra at Milan Design Week. A collection of outdoor furniture that sparkles like the surface of the sea, A’mare’s transparent polycarbonate tables and chairs bring color and style out into any garden area or patio space.
