Fixture was a flimsy plastic shade and a lamps socket. I'm not sure what could have made the cost nearly so high. I would not buy another fixture from this product line.
Great Look.
The parts are well made. Strong suspension cable, bulb socket, hardware, etc. It is a very simple design and use of materials. It looks great. I have it hanging in my stairwell because one end of the stairwell is two floors in height from the bottom of the stairs to the top of the ceiling. This fixture takes up what was empty and awkward looking space and now it looks like the space was designed to showcase the light. It is very good for filling up empty vertical space and making it interesting. Prior to this I was looking for art to fill up the space, this light filled that need. I used a 100 watt clear glass halogen bulb to get the maximum light out of the fixture. It provides good light, the fixture itself has frosted plastic diffusers which diffuse the light; therefore I recommend clear glass bulbs instead of frosted. I tried to find a better price online and couldn't. Given the simple design and minimal materials I expected it to cost less. Expensive, but glad I got it, love the look.
sculpture that glows!
we used two foscarinni havana pendants (white) hanging from a sloped ceiling about 12 feet and 14 feet height - the 51" tall cigar shaped form engaged the space beautifully and became the focal point of the room. Plenty of bright light when fully illuminated (100W) per light, sexy glow ambiance when dimmed; no distince hot spots (the lamp spot is brighter of course), but well diffused light through the fixture. There should be a sloped canopy otion however, but we made do. I will use these again and would be interested in the clear version but wonder about the light dispersement. No dissapoointments, only delight from our design group.
The Havana lamp is as beautiful in its simplicity as it is i
I love the proportions of this hanging lamp. It is perfect in the high-ceiling application where it is hanging. I chose the "ice" color option for its cool beauty...but then warmed it from within with a pink (and dimmable) bulb.
Beautiful Lamp!
The lamp was beautiful! Shipping was fast. Unfortunately it does not fit where I need it to, so I'll have to keep shopping.
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.
