Ficupala Floor Lamp
Made by Cassina
The Ficupala takes its cues from the plant world, specifically the sculptural geometry of cactus forms, translating organic volume into an indoor lamp that occupies the border between post-modern eclecticism and Art Déco restraint.
A liquid-painted metal structure supports a blown glass body and diffuser, each shaped with the deliberate irregularity that only hand-worked glass allows. No two pieces read quite the same.
The base is Marquinia marble, the dense black Spanish stone whose veining gives every object a singular presence. Paired with the softness of the glass above, the contrast is precise and considered.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Marquinia marble and where does it come from?
Marquinia is a black limestone quarried in the Basque region of northern Spain. Its defining characteristic is a dense, near-opaque black ground crossed by white calcite veining, making each slab distinct. In furniture and lighting bases, it is valued for its visual weight and the way it anchors a composition.
What design tradition does the Ficupala belong to?
The Ficupala sits at the intersection of post-modern eclecticism and Art Déco formal sensibility. Cassina has a long history of collaborating with architects and artists who work outside strict minimalism, and the Ficupala reflects that broader curatorial position, drawing from botanical geometry rather than abstract reduction.
Is the blown glass on the Ficupala uniform across pieces?
Hand-blown glass carries inherent variation from piece to piece. The Ficupala's diffuser and body are shaped through a process that embraces deliberate irregularity, so minor differences in form and surface are an expected and intentional aspect of the object, not a defect.
What bulb type does the Ficupala use?
The Ficupala accepts an E27 socket in EU, UK, and China configurations, and an E26 socket for USA and Japan. It is rated for a maximum of 10W LED and carries an IP20 indoor rating.
How does Cassina approach collaboration with designers?
Cassina has worked since the mid-twentieth century with architects and designers who prioritize cultural and material experimentation over commercial convention. The brand's archive spans canonical pieces by Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand to more recent collaborations, reflecting a consistent belief that furniture and lighting are forms of cultural production.
