Table lamp model “Taccia”, designed by Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni for Flos, 60s.

Bigger size with the reflector in glass.

The Taccia table lamp is a design classic from 1962, designed by the brothers Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni for Flos. Taccia was originally designed for use with a reflector lamp.

The lamp is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York.

Taccia consists of three parts: base, shade and reflector, whose shape and materiality contrast fascinatingly.

The base made of cast aluminum is cylindrical with a distinctive ribbed structure that is reminiscent of the fluting of ancient columns. The shade sits diagonally on it in the form of a boldly curved, transparent shell – made of glass.
