First in the series of our Meet the Supplier podcasts, which introduce key suppliers to the Interior Design industry.

Foscarini is an Italian lighting company, originally from Murano and now based close to Venice on the mainland

I spoke with Simona Giroldini, Head of Global Marketing and Communication, in a rooftop garden above the Oneroom gallery, a large Victorian warehouse in Shoreditch, where their Metaphysica exhibition was held.

In our conversation, we discover why a cultural context is important, how a chance image triggered the development of a concept, how traditional craft skills underpin their commercial products and the importance of freedom.
