Overview

Taraxacum means "dandelion" in Latin and becomes a visual metaphor for this suspension light's bulbs that resemble the florets on the head of a dandelion. Designed by Achille Castiglioni, the Taraxacum 88 suspension light features 20 pressed and polished aluminum equilateral triangles - each fitted with three electrical sockets. The 60 resulting sockets each hold a clear bulb resulting in a suspension light that will become the instant focal point of any interior in which it is placed. Taraxacum 88 provides both direct and reflected incandescent light. Manufactured by Flos.

Designer

Achille Castiglioni

Achille Castiglioni (1918 - 2002) was born in Milan and graduated from Politecnico di Milano University with a degree in architecture in the late 1930s. Shortly thereafter, he set up a design office with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo in Milan where he dedicated himself to experimenting with industrial products. Achille, along with his brothers, went on to become one of the most renowned industrial designers in post-war Italy. His works are included in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including fourteen pieces within New York's Museum of Modern Art. The designer has won nine Compasso d′Oro awards, including a special mention in 1989 as an individual dedicated to industrial design who, by means of his incomparable experience, "elevated industrial design to the highest levels of culture." In his lifetime, he designed and collaborated on nearly 150 objects, many of which are still in production today by Alessi, DePadova, Flos, Poltrona Frau, Tacchini, and Zanotta.
