TARAXACUM 88 C/W

by Achille Castiglioni, 1988

Breathtaking, unique, extravagant - the Taraxacum 88 C/W is a lighting object that perfectly combines functionality, form and fascination. Designer Achille Castiglioni was already 70 years old when he designed the wall and ceiling light Taraxacum 88 C/W in 1988. The design of the Taraxacum luminaire series drew on decades of experience and the industrial designer's knowledge of shape and design, materials and manufacturing. While Castiglioni's early lights designs were previously produced by other manufacturers, the Taraxacum 88 C/W wall and ceiling light has been manufactured by Flos from the very beginning.

Inspired by the dandelion, the prefiguration of a dandelion flower, Archille Castiglioni named his light sculpture after the botanical name of the dandelion, Traxacum. Like the dandelion, which sends its seeds, reminiscent of flying umbrellas, out into the world with a breeze, the Taraxacum 88 C/W ceiling light directs its rays of light outwards and illuminates its surroundings. The viewer does not only succumb to the special charm of the Taraxacum 88 C/W luminaire when it is lit. Even its mere shape embodies elegance, lightness and luxury. This applies both to the Taraxacum 88 C/W wall light and especially to the pendant lights Taraxacum 88 S1 and Taraxacum 88 S2.

But not only visually white The Taraxacum 88 C/W wall light is convincing. Its design is as simple as it is ingenious. Polished aluminum parts in the shape of triangles form the heart of the Taraxacum 88 C/W, the body of the luminaire. The triangles are held together mechanically by metal rods.
