The Big Bang Chandelier from Foscarini connects a myriad of panels together in a seemingly random pattern. However, the pattern is meant to maximize reflection to fully illuminate your space without creating any harsh glares. Designed by Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez in 2005, these planes, which are made out of methacrylic, are meant to call to mind the explosive power of its namesake by looking as though they're bursting from the center.

Hanging Art Work

This light is exactly what we were looking for to finish off our dining room...truly a statement piece....hanging art! Unlike a previous review, our diffusers don't have gaps between them and we don't see the little letters printed on them. If you put it together correctly both issues are non-issues since the letters face the inside of the fixture and the diffusers sit together snug. Was actually quite fun to assemble! Only complaint is that for a fixture of this price one would expect the bulb to be included!!! Not to mention the fact that the recommended wattage for the bulb is not something routinely carried at Home Depot or Lowes...it has to be special ordered.

Aptly named

This fixture is stunning. The effect is equally dramatic turned on or off, but a dimmer is recommended to take advantage of all it's effects! The scale is impressive, and it works well in open spaces to anchor and define the room. I don't have a high ceiling so it does hang slightly low, but at an appropriate height over a dining table. The hard cleanable surface is nice too for real dusting and wipe down, I have other modern white molded lights that are much more difficult to clean. This light is one of my favorite things about my remodel!

Illuminated Art

I was very hesitant about this light. Wrestled with the purchase for nearly three weeks before taking the plunge. Now that it's up, I could not be happier. My Big Bang is hung over my dining room table. It's a statement piece - no doubt, in the most artful way. The light is gorgeous. I have mine on a dimmer and it looks stunning at full light, and - if possible - even moreso the dimmer it goes. A couple of technical things: there is a "front" to the light, in my opinion. The light has more of an elongated presence from the front - ever-so-slightly oblong. I've had two friends look at the light and agree. My electrician is coming back to turn the light 90 degrees so its "front" is facing my entryway. Secondly, the light fixture itself is white. White - not cream, and not off-white. This was my biggest hesitation about purchasing the light as I was concerned it would have a giant glaring WHITE presence and look cheap in my dining room. It looks anything but. Interestingly, the light takes on a softer, almost off-white tone at night, at least in my home. Simply beautiful. Foscarini Fan Atlanta, GA

It's beautiful! A piece os art, indeed. But be careful with the height if your ceiling is low. the chandelier can be inconveniently low.

Foscarini

Founded on the Murano island in Venice, Italy in 1981, Foscarini started out creating blown glass-based lighting. They eventually expanded into other materials (the first being the Havana in 1993), and moved in 1994 to the Marcon area of Venice, into a building that reflected the modern aesthetic of their contemporary lighting. Success led to brand stability and swiftly growing name recognition.
