<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoba emerges from a sphere, now almost unrecognizable, with the glass flattened at various points, as if pressed by a hand, leaving a series of impressions. This effect results from careful calibration, achieving a shape that is emptied, volumetrically mistreated, and characterized by\u00a0<strong>organic deformation \u2013 an anti-geometry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lamp represents an unprecedented expression of the designers&#8217; years-long exploration of blown glass with Foscarini. Ludovica Serafini notes that&nbsp;<strong>integrating processes normally carried out by specialized glassmakers into an industrial context allows the creation of uniquely decorative lamps&nbsp;<\/strong>with a strong personality, providing the emotional value of handmade pieces along with the affordability guaranteed by serial production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating Hoba involves a process that shapes the lamp during the blowing phase while the glass is still hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roberto Palomba explains, &#8220;The pressure occurs within a well-defined perimeter but is exerted by the\u00a0<strong>master glassmaker<\/strong>, never being identical. Foscarini experimented extensively, leveraging its glass processing expertise and exploring various options to ensure no two lamps are exactly alike.&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoba is a comprehensive lamp family offered in\u00a0<strong>suspension, table, wall, and ceiling versions<\/strong>, available in midi, medium, and large sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foscarini.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Foscarini<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hoba by Foscarini is inspired by a meteorite that fell to Earth, translating the perfect imperfection of a handcrafted object into a series lamp that represents the physical embodiment of anti-geometry.
