These features have found a new means of expression in the table XL and reading lamp versions. Twiggy table XL and Twiggy reading lamps stand out due to the synthesis between absolute simplicity and strong personality, the balance in the design can be seen in the geometrical proportions and the refined elegance of the monochromatic treatment of all the lamp elements. The signature "cut-off" diffuser on the Twiggy models, including the table XL and reading lamp versions, ensures glare protection and perfect luminous function both downwards and upwards. Reading lamp made of composite lacquered material on a fibre glass base, available in four colour finishes. The diffuser guarantees maximum exploitation of the light source which offers directing lighting downwards and effective reflection of the light upwards, thanks to the transparency of the upper protection disc. The simple, colour-coordinated base fits even in small spaces, thanks to its flat shape. ![Twiggy Reading Lamp 2](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/f/foscarini/produkte/twiggy-reading-lamp/_697x479_crop_center-center_none/twiggy-reading-lamp-2.jpg) ![Twiggy Reading Lamp 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/f/foscarini/produkte/twiggy-reading-lamp/_697x479_crop_center-center_none/twiggy-reading-lamp-3.jpg) - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](http://www.foscarini.com/en/lamps/floor/twiggy-lettura.html) - [Manufacturer's website](https://www.foscarini.com/) All Twiggy products - [![Twice As Twiggy suspension lamp](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/d/delightfull/produkte/a/acerbis/produkte/d/delightfull/produkte/f/foscarini/produkte/twice-as-twiggy-suspension-lamp/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/twice-as-twiggy-suspension-lamp-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/foscarini/twice-as-twiggy-suspension-lamp) - [![Twice As Twiggy floor lamp](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/d/delightfull/produkte/a/acerbis/produkte/d/delightfull/produkte/f/foscarini/produkte/twice-as-twiggy-floor-lamp/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/twice-as-twiggy-floor-lamp-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/foscarini/twice-as-twiggy-floor-lamp) - [![Twiggy Reading lamp](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/f/foscarini/produkte/twiggy-reading-lamp/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/twiggy-reading-lamp-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/foscarini/twiggy-reading-lamp) - [![Twiggy Table lamp XL](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/f/foscarini/produkte/twiggy-table-lamp-xl/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/twiggy-table-lamp-xl-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/foscarini/twiggy-table-lamp-xl) - [![Twiggy Hanging lamp](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/f/foscarini/produkte/twiggy-hanging-lamp/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/twiggy-hanging-lamp-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/foscarini/twiggy-hanging-lamp) - [![Twiggy Ceiling lamp](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/f/foscarini/produkte/twiggy-ceiling-lamp/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/twiggy-ceiling-lamp-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/foscarini/twiggy-ceiling-lamp) - [![Twiggy Tablelamp](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/f/foscarini/produkte/twiggy-tablelamp/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/twiggy-tablelamp-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/foscarini/twiggy-tablelamp) - [![Twiggy Floor lamp](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/f/foscarini/produkte/twiggy-floor-lamp/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/twiggy-floor-lamp-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/foscarini/twiggy-floor-lamp) - [All products by Foscarini @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/manufacturer/foscarini) - [Foscarini @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/foscarini) Foscarini Related Articles [FEATURED Diplomats, debates, decorations 3/5/2018 On the occasion of Stockholm Design Week 2018 Foscarini hosted a reception at the Italian Embassy in the Swedish capital.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/foscarini_stockholm-design-week-2018) [FEATURED Where does the day begin, where does the night end? 11/27/2017 Foscarini's cultural individualism gives rise not only to extraordinary luminaires, but also to artistic production.
