Foglio Small and Quarto Small
A new scale for two iconic wall lamps by Tobia Scarpa. Designed in 1966 and 1973 respectively, Foglio Small and Quarto Small retain the distinctive character and presence of the original designs. Their new proportions offer greater versatility, bringing these two timeless designs to smaller spaces too.
“Artificial lighting has transformed the way we live as well as the appearance of our cities; it has fundamentally changed human behaviour. But [...] the world we live in today relies on goods and services that cannot be considered purely utilitarian. [...] Lamps are not simply there to provide light, but to create situations and convey symbolism: people live through symbols, not only through the reality of things. [...] A lamp needs personality.”
Tobia Scarpa in Ottagono no. 9 (1968)
Foglio Small
DESIGNED BY TOBIA SCARPA, 2026
A sheet of metal that shapes light
Foglio Small preserves Scarpa’s original gesture: a sheet of metal, cut and folded to create soft, enveloping curves that conceal the light source and diffuse a gentle light upwards and downwards. A sculptural presence that retains the character of the original design, defining the space even when switched off.
Designed for greater versatility, the new size fits naturally into smaller spaces and varied compositions. Available in steel with Chrome and Gold finishes, and in iron with White, Black and the new Bronze finish, expanding on the original colour palette.
Quarto Small
DESIGNED BY TOBIA SCARPA, 2026
Geometry and light
Quarto Small transforms the quarter-sphere into a clean, softly curved form designed to direct light with precision. Its pure, essential geometry places the focus on the quality of light.
Reintroduced on a more compact scale, it retains the directional flexibility of the original design, with the lamp body rotating 270° to adapt the light to different spaces and needs.
Available in five finishes: White, Black, Gold, Chrome and Bronze.
