Tress is a floor lamp created by Marc Sadler in 2008. It is made of a lacquered fibreglass-based composite material and is available in black, red, and white. Produced by Foscarini, this lamp is made by interlacing ribbons and resin in an irregular fashion to create a structure as well as a decorative and protective element, creating a totally unique lighting effect that incorporates solids and voids, shadow, and light. The thread embedded in the interlacing of the structure creates a pure and refined aesthetic effect. This floor lamp has two light sources which are independent of each other.
Born in Austria, French citizen, Marc Sadler has lived and worked for many d years in Europe, North America and Asia. He currently lives in Milan, where he works as a consultant for various companies in the fields of domestic furniture, large and small electrical appliances, lighting, and advanced technologies for industry and sport.He has worked in the field of sport for almost thirty years.In all these sectors, experimentation with plastics, a key theme of his studies and a great personal curiosity, is the main key to his work. Marc Sadler has an excellent reputation as a technical designer but is also passionate about painting, sculpture and drawing, these activities being considered among his most genuine interests.In the early 70s, he developed the first ski boot made from a fully recyclable thermoplastic material, which was then industrialised by Caber (later Lotto), where he quickly took over responsibility for all the product lines, establishing a long and fruitful partnership that culminated in the patent for the boot, which remained the best-selling boot in the world for several years. He has won numerous international design awards: the back protector for motorcyclists he designed is now part of the permanent collection of the MOMA in New York and the Mite lamp (Foscarini) is part of the Beaubourg design collection in Paris.

FOSCARINI
Foscarini was founded in 1981 in Venice. Foscarini has been producing lighting and exploring the possibilities and qualities of Murano glass since 1981, most of its design have gone on to become classics. For Foscarini, each project requires a new supplier in order to best meet the customer's requirements. Freedom of production advocated by Foscarini inspired two of the company's designers, Carlo Urbinatti and Alessancro Vecchiato, to use other materials. This strategy results in a wealth of inspirations, raw materials and technological innovations.
Foscarini's concepts, shapes and materials illuminate and transform the offerings and initiatives of international designers
