Marc Sadler

Marc Sadler is a French designer who has been described as a pioneer in experimentation as his designs demonstrate his fearlessness in materiality and technique. He has been awarded 4 times with the Compasso d’Oro together with 4 Honorable Mention awards of ADI Association Industrial Design due to his willingness to push boundaries and take risks in the world of designer lighting.

Sadler's most popular design was the Foscarini Twiggy collection, an iconic product of the 20th century. Featuring an oversized shade, the Foscarini Twiggy floor lamp has become a recognisable design that characterises Sadler's vision. This can also be seen in the Fabbian Beluga collection, a collection featuring retro-style lights. His original designs have been so successful that he has launched multiple versions and variations of these designs.

"I am happy with my work today because its seems like a return to the 1970s, when the entrepreneur had an important role and expressed clear intentions made of objectives, a schedule, the right budget, and knowing that he had worked well up to that point, wanted to go further, somewhere he had never gone before." - Marc Sadler
