Pair of Gibigiana Lamps, Designed by Achille Castiglioni for Flos, Italy 1980

About the Item

A pair of Gibigiana lamps, designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1980. Enameld steal and aluminium, plastic. Manufactured by Flos in the early to mid 1980ies. Wonderful pair of Gibigiana lamps in small (42 cm) and large (52 cm) version. As often with Achile Castiglioni’s design there’s a playfully idea how he came about the design of this lamp series. The design reflects on the Milan kids play called „Gibigiana“. Using a piece of glass or mirror reflecting a ray of sun on their friends. The lamp´s rotateable mirror reflects the halogen light onto a differnt point, creating a spot light. Perfectly to be used as a reading lamp on your bedside table, or to have just a very small spot of light, where you need it.

    By Achille Castiglioni
    Located in toronto, CA
    Flos’s mission was to revolutionize the lighting industry by exploiting new materials, starting with Eisenkeil’s “cocoon floss” polyamide. In the early years of Flos, design was overseen first by Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, followed by his brother Achille and Tobia Scarpa, and then Scarpa’s wife, Afra. The resulting products were intriguingly futuristic looking, such as the Castiglionis’ Viscontea Lamp (1960), Taraxacum Chandelier (1960), and Gato Table Light (1960), as well as the Scarpas’ Fantasma Floor Lamp (1960s). The effect of the cocoon allowed for a soft, ambient glow. Other signature Flos pieces include the classic Arco Lamp (1962) by the Castiglioni brothers; the Parentesi Lamp (1971) by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzu, which was the first piece in the Flos collection...
