The iconic Taccia lamp now uses the latest LED technology and combines it with high-quality lighting that uses energy efficiently. Designed by the Castiglioni brothers, the Taccia lamp is one of the great classics of lighting. It was released from the Flos studio in 1962 and resembles a large projector. Taccia celebrates the industrial designed cherished by our two Italian designers. This lamp is composed of a ribbed aluminium base, topped with a jointed, deep bell jar created with hand-blown clear glass. A varnished aluminium disc covers the bell jar and acts like a reflective screen for the bulb hidden in the body of the lamp. Taccia diffuses a high-quality, indirect light which can be adjusted upwards and downwards. A true icon of design, Taccia’s aesthetic qualities defy the tests of time: Positioned atop a unit or even placed on the floor, it adds extremely avant-garde loft vibes to any space. In 1970, Achille Castiglioni said that Taccia represented “the Mercedes of lamps, a symbol of success:: Perhaps because it resembles a classic column.”
