Achille Castiglioni – Taraxacum 88 CW Ceiling/Wall Lamp for Flos, 1988

An iconic example of Italian postmodern lighting, the Taraxacum 88 CW was designed by renowned Italian designer Achille Castiglioni for Flos in 1988.

Featuring a striking geometric structure composed of polished metal triangular panels, the lamp is punctuated by exposed spherical light bulbs, creating a dramatic interplay of light, reflection and architectural form.

The highly reflective surfaces amplify the illumination, while the sculptural arrangement of the panels and bulbs embodies Castiglioni's innovative approach to functional design.

Designed for use as either a ceiling or wall light, the Taraxacum 88 CW is a distinctive statement piece that exemplifies the experimental spirit of late 20th-century Italian design.
