FOC Talents 30Jun2010
After two successful Talent competitions in which the Talents were asked to design a new wedding ring concept and a case for the Blackberry, the third competition is related to the FOC lighting collection. Lighting is the most important product category of the FOC Collection. The lights have won many awards and are taken into the permanent collection of the Vitra design museum, MAD New York and Design Museum Holon. Successful light designs include the Dahlia, 1597 and Palm series, all designed by Janne Kyttanen. These designs are inspired by phenomena in nature and therefore have an organic feel compared to the more recent Riot and Filament series.
From our clients we notice that there is strong demand for a new hanging light that is in line with the organic series mentioned above. Demand for a new hanging light is strongest, because the Collection portfolio at the moment only includes one hanging light model: ‘Palm’. (more…)

FOC Collection 18Jun2009
D50 1597 Eco is a customized version of the D50 1597, which is initially designed for The Oceania hotel in St. Malo, France, designed by Fosters and Partners. By making the light 5 cm flatter, than the original version, FOC was able to match the budget from the client. This light is also now added in the FOC Collection.
