taraxacum 88 suspension lamp
Design Achille Castiglioni, 1988
Aluminum, steel, glass light bulbs
Made in Italy by Flos
Taraxacum '88 is composed from a single basic element, a polished aluminum equilateral triangle fitted with electrical sockets. A number of these are hinged together to form an icosahedron, the Platonic form closest to a sphere. The sockets are filled with 60 transparent 25 watt Globolux light bulbs which are inlcuded.
Castiglioni said of Taraxacum '88: "It is a bit of a blow to energy-saving but a big chandelier is meant for community areas, lobbies and rooms that need a lot of light for special occasions and so it also needs to be decorative."
Achille Castiglioni's imaginative forms and simplistic designs have made him one of the most influential figures in Italian design.

Castiglioni
Iconic Italian designer Achille Castiglioni was often inspired by common objects and made use of ordinary materials to create a maximal effect. Best known for his designs for Flos Lighting such as Taccia, Arco and Snoopy.
Design and innovation have been the two main pillars of Flos lighting since 1962. Taking care of the Planet and inhabitants through beautiful and sustainable lighting is a third new pillar.
