An outdoor, modern hearth, a protean sculpture, or even a side table for drinks, Foscarini’s Solar defies definition. The 31-1/4″-diameter indoor–outdoor floor fixture by designer Jean Marie Massaud made its debut at last year’s Venice Biennale, strewn across the grounds of the International Architecture Exhibition. It can be tilted to 15 degrees to direct its light and takes a 25W fluorescent lamp. The polyethylene body has a glossy white or dark wood surface finish for the indoor version, and a rusty, textured effect for the outdoor, shown. foscarini.com
