Taccia Lamp by Flos

The Taccia lamp by Flos, designed by the famous Italian designers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962, embodies the Castiglioni brothers' boldness and innovation in design. Taccia, although created as an inverted suspension lamp, eventually found its final form as a table lamp, offering unique indirect light thanks to its blown glass diffuser.

The sturdy, ribbed base in anodized aluminum contrasts beautifully with the slender glass shade, reflecting a perfect balance between strength and lightness. This blend of precious materials, bold proportions and refined details lends the lamp a timeless, yet avant-garde character that can be found in the great design classics of the '60s.

The Taccia's style draws on the Art Deco movement, with its striated base reminiscent of classic architectural columns, yet is distinguished by a minimalist industrial approach typical of Castiglioni designs. The lamp reflects the philosophy of the designers, who often took everyday objects and reinterpreted them with ingenuity.

The Taccia is available in a range of anodized finishes (black, silver, bronze) and now comes in two sizes, the original and a mini version, both equipped with modern LED sources. A favorite with contemporary design enthusiasts, it offers elegant lighting in a sculptural form. Its success lies in its versatility, capable of adapting to both residential and professional spaces.
