Appliques "wassily on the wall" by Adam T. Tihani and Joseph Mancini for Foscarini
About the Item
Pair of wall lamps, designed in 1985 by Adam T. Tihany and Joseph Mancini for Foscarini and produced by Foscarini. This pair of wall sconces has a strongly geometric and playful design, and are entitled "Wassily on the wall"
They are inspired by the aesthetics of constructivism and Bauhaus, particularly the visual language of Wassily Kandinsky, from whom the model's name (inner label) is also derived.
The composition is reminiscent of an abstract sculpture: a shiny turquoise sphere at the top, acting as a light element. Two cones, gray and larger pink where we find the light spot. Both the sphere and cones are made of Murano glass, while the circular structure is made of red painted metal.
Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist, recognized as one of the fathers of abstract art. His contribution profoundly influenced 20th century art, both pictorially and theoretically.

Located in Glendale, CA
Adam D. Tihany & Joseph Mancini K6 'Wassily' Blown Glass Table Lamp for Foscarini
Designed in 1985 by Adam D. Tihany & Joseph Mancini and produced by Foscarini, the Italian lighting firm founded in Venice on the legendary island of Murano, where generations of master glass blowers have skillfully used their unmatched imagination and skill to create the most innovative works of light into the modern era. Inspired by the painterly works of Kandinsky and the ballet theater of the Bauhaus, the celebrated 'Wassily' series was conceived as illuminated sculptures rather than lamps, produced by composing solid forms in primary colors, held together by polished metal mountings.
These are new old stock from an extremely limited run 20th anniversary re-edition that was recently discovered in the Foscarini warehouse, still new in box and retaining all their original packaging and contents. These iconic Memphis style lamps...
