taraxacum 88 suspension lamp
by Achille Castiglioni from Flos
taraxacum 88 suspension lamp
Design Achille Castiglioni, 1988
Aluminum, steel, glass light bulbs
Made in Italy by Flos
An update on the famous 1960s creation by the Castiglioni brothers, Achille Castiglioni designed this piece for "community areas, lobbies and rooms that need a lot of light for special occasions," without sacrificing style and beauty.
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 clear globe light bulbs (included), invoking the bloom of a dandelion.
Achille Castiglioni's imaginative forms and simplistic designs have made him one of the most influential figures in Italian design.

Achille 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.
