Ready to ShipTaccia is a table lamp designed by Piergiacomo and Achille Castiglioni for Flos, conceived in 1958 and officially produced in 1962. Reflector in painted metal, body in painted extruded aluminum and blown glass diffuser. Available in several finishes.
A true masterpiece in the history of lighting design. Taccia by Flos is an iconic lamp with timeless charm. First designed by the Castiglioni brothers with a diffuser in transparent plastic, the Taccia lamp was later provided with an elegant diffuser in transparent blown glass. This large table lamp, thanks to its remarkable size, can also be a perfect floor lamp. The light source is hidden inside the metal support, profiled with projections to improve heat diffusion of the light bulb. This technical device that recalls the features of a Doric column has become the main formal characteristic of the Taccia lamp, and has determined its outstanding success. It is possible to adjust the intensity of the emission and to create different moods through the electronic dimmer on the cable. Majestic and ethereal, the large version of the Taccia lamp radiates beauty in broad spaces and contract settings.
“This is a very interesting lamp because of its history, and because some people today think that it is a post-modern object. This is very funny. It was made in 1962 and my brother and I had not the slightest intention of making a post-modern lamp.” - Achille Castiglioni, 1987.
