Design by Marc Sadler, 2006. The Twiggy is characterized by a thin, elegant and sophisticated design. Flexibility is the word for Twiggy; flexibility of the material which defines the ample and essential curve of the arm that carries the light source far from the base, in the possibility of adjusting the height of the shade thanks to a system of counterweights, and in the possibility of adjusting the length of the arm with a set of extensions (sold separately).
Twiggy is available in four color choices: red, black, white or yellow. Made from a compound material with a fiberglass base. Bottom diffuser shields direct view of lamps.
Up to two optional extension rods can be used (sold separately). One extension rod yields overall heights of 91" - 98"; two extension rods yield overall heights of 102" - 110".
The Foscarini collection brings together objects that express strong ideas with special character of their own. Ideas are transformed into a tangible reality thanks to the contribution of leading personalities from the world of design. Foscarini lights up their creativity and guides their proposals.
The cornerstone of Foscarini is research into forms and materials. Established in 1981 in Venice. Foscarini started out by exploring the opportunities offered by Murano glass. Over the years, the range of materials used has expanded to include glass, polyethylene, wood and aluminum, as well as patented materials such as an exclusive textured glass and Kevlar ® or carbon fiber composite.
The Twiggy Floor lamp makes a dramatic addition to a room.
Elegant arc design. It was easy to assemble. 20 minutes, no tools. Extremely well made, high quality materials.

Customer service is responsive
The Twiggy lamp is elegant and well designed. Surprisingly the shade and the arc are made of plastic, but if they were not the additional weight would probably necessitate a more substantial base. The base is a flat metal plate that moves easily once the lamp is assembled.
When the packages arrived several components were missing and YLighting customer service resolved the issue in reasonable amount of time. Their response was commendable.

Love it- very dramatic statement
I wanted to get this lamp in white but my partner was pretty adamant about yellow, so I conceded. It is actually a very nice color, not too overpowering (more like a curry/mustard color), but still very dramatic against our white walls. The stems are surprisingly flexible - I guess that is because of the composite material - and the shade comes with five counterweight disks that you can add one at a time to the top of the shade to incrementally lower it (I didn't realize that when we bought it, but it is nice to be able to change the height at will). The base is hefty, but very flat (think heavy steel plate).
