Flos – Flos - Taccia LED Light

Taccia - Flos (1962)

• 1 REMOTE PHOSPHOR LED
• Table lamp providing indirect light

Thought by Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1958, the lamp Taccia has been designed and realised in form of a prototype in 1959. After a few years the manufacturer company Flos set up a mass production scheme which will bring the article into production in 1962.

The lamp has a base in anodised extruded aluminium (which also comes in black polish) underneath a deep glass bell which has a concave aluminium disk on top.

An incandescent light is hidden inside the metal base which is shaped to form some prominent ends to facilitate the diffusion of the heath coming from the light. The transparent glass bell sited freely on the base can be oriented to direct the light in many ways.

Achille Castiglioni during an interview about Taccia in 1970 said: "we regard it as the Mercedes of the lamps, a symbol of success: maybe because it looks like a classic column. Of course, we weren't concerned about prestige when we designed it. We intended to obtain a surface which would remain chilly."

As many other products designed by Achille Castiglioni Taccia is an extraordinary piece which does not conform to any temporary fashion.

The transparent glass bell sited freely on the base can be oriented to direct the light in many ways.

The Flos Taccia light is truly a cornerstone for Flos and should be apart of any design savvy lighting collection.

Requires 1 x 100W E27 (incandescent)
