"Taccia" Table Lamp by Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni for Flos – (1960)

Illuminate your home with an authentic legend of industrial design: the Taccia table lamp, designed in 1962 (with prototypes dating back to 1958) by masters Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos. Described by its creators as "the Mercedes of lamps," the Taccia is not just a lighting fixture, but a kinetic sculpture that transforms light into an extraordinary visual experience.

This masterpiece stands out for its ingenious indirect lighting system: the light source is hidden in the cylindrical base, which resembles an industrial radiator for heat dissipation, while the light is projected upwards onto a parabolic reflector in white painted aluminum. The large translucent blown glass bell acts as an adjustable diffuser, allowing the light beam to be directed with elegance. With its imposing silhouette and noble materials (aluminum and glass), the Taccia is perfect for enhancing vintage sideboards, prestigious desks, or coffee tables in minimalist or modern environments.

A timeless work that demonstrates how functional rigor can translate into poetic beauty capable of lasting for decades.

Condition: The item is in excellent vintage condition. The aluminum base is intact and the blown glass is free of chips or defects. The electrical system has been checked to ensure its perfect functionality.
