Twiggy Grid Outdoor
Made by Foscarini
Designed by Marc Sadler
Marc Sadler drew from the arc of a fishing rod when he conceived Twiggy, and that original gesture remains unmistakable in the Twiggy Grid Outdoor. A single, tensioned stem curves upward with effortless precision, holding a broad elliptical diffuser seemingly weightless above the ground. The contradiction is the point: such a slender form, such a generous spread of light.
Engineered for exterior environments without conceding any of the indoor original's sculptural economy, the Twiggy Grid Outdoor is built to withstand the elements while retaining the graphic clarity that made Twiggy a canonical piece of contemporary lighting design. Its diffuser casts a wide, soft field of illumination suited to terraces, gardens, and covered outdoor living spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Twiggy design iconic in modern lighting?
Marc Sadler's Twiggy, introduced by Foscarini in 2006, redefined the floor lamp through its extreme formal restraint: a single arched stem so slender it reads almost as a drawn line, yet engineered to support a large diffuser with structural confidence. That tension between delicacy and function gave it an enduring identity in the canon of contemporary design.
Is the Twiggy Grid Outdoor suitable for fully exposed exteriors?
The Twiggy Grid Outdoor is built with weather-resistant materials and rated for outdoor use, making it appropriate for covered terraces, loggias, and sheltered garden settings. For fully exposed installations subject to heavy rain or prolonged direct weather, a covered position is advisable to preserve finish and component longevity.
How does the Twiggy Grid Outdoor differ from the standard Twiggy Outdoor?
The Grid variant features a diffuser with a distinctive grid-patterned surface treatment, which modulates the quality of emitted light and adds a layer of visual texture to the lamp's face. The structural form and outdoor engineering remain consistent across the Twiggy Outdoor family.
