About the Item

The Castiglioni brothers often created designs that challenged our perspective, and the Taccia, which gives the illusion of an upside-down hanging lamp, is an inspired example of that. This new, smaller version is approximately half the size of the original design created in1962. It has a painted aluminum reflector that is gloss white on the inside and matte white on the outside. The diffuser is transparent blown glass and can change direction. The body is available in matte black or naturally anodized extruded aluminum. The base is nickel-plated ABS and PC (polycarbonate). It features an electric cable that measures 190-centimeters and includes a dimmer switch on the cord. Light adjustment can be customized between 10-100%. The plug-in power supply includes interchangeable plugs. Inspiration behind the design: Using a minimailist approach, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni used perspective to change the way we see everyday objects. This item is compatible only in the United States. For customers located outside of this region, please inquire for availability in your area.

20th Century Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni Table Lamp Taccia for Flos
By Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Flos
Located in Turin, Turin
Table lamp model "Taccia" designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1960s for Flos in extruded aluminium with painted metal reflector and mouth-blown translucent glass diffuser, and base in polished, nickel-plated and zapped steel; very good condition. This project stems from Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni's desire to make a table lamp with indirect light. Following various studies, they made a prototype with an opaque white reflector made of plastic material and a supporting cup, also made of plastic material but transparent. After various experiments, they discarded the idea of using plastic material because of the deformations that were created to the reflector support due to the heat of the concentrated light source. The final prototype turns out to consist of a reflector made of aluminum lacquered in a matte white color in the convex part, polished in the concave part, and a support cup made of transparent glass resistant even to high temperatures. Achille Castiglioni said in 1987: "This is an interesting lamp because of its history, and because someone today confuses it for a post-modern object...
