Flos - Taccia small LED Table lamp

Small version of the classic by Achille Castiglioni.

The Taccial Small LED by Flos is the small form of the great design classic. The concept was already created in 1958 by designers Pier and Achille Giacomo Castiglioni, before the lamp went into mass production in 1962.

In a 1970 interview, veteran designer Achille Castiglioni said of Taccia: For us, it is the Mercedes Benz of luminaires; a symbol of success, possibly because the base resembles an ancient column. When we designed the Taccia luminaire, however, prestige was not our main concern. We were essentially concerned with a surface that remains cool.

Indirect and reflective lighting

The table lamp offers indirect and reflective lighting, as well as an adjustable glass diffuser. The LED lamp in the base of the fixture shines the light to the reflector plate located in the hand-blown glass body, which then distributes the light. The adjustable glass bowl allows the light to be directed in the desired direction. While the transparent shell scatters the light freely, the reflector plate made of shiny white aluminum creates diffused light. Through a switch dimmer on the cable of the lamp, the light intensity can be regulated as desired, creating a cozy atmosphere in addition to bright lighting.

The lamp body is made of fluted extruded aluminum and form a material contrast with the glass, which makes the lamp a real eye-catcher.

Possible applications

Possible uses for this small classic are on the bedside table, but also as a desk lamp, as well as on a dresser in the hallway or living room. With successful proportions, coherent design and a high degree of timelessness, the lamp enriches any living environment.
