Achille Castiglioni designed Taraxacum 88 in 1988. Flos quotes him saying he wanted “to replace classic multi-bulb chandeliers”, the Murano glass, Dutch brass or Bohemian crystal kind.
About Taraxacum 88
Its sphere is built from 20 pressed, polished aluminum triangles holding 60 exposed bulbs, so the light comes both directly and reflected off the metal. On the North American version, Flos supplies the bulbs. It comes as a pendant or a wall and ceiling light, and it works where a room calls for a chandelier but not for crystal.
We carry the pendant and the wall and ceiling version. Ask us and we’ll help you choose between them and plan the hanging height.
