The original Teraxacum pendant lights designed by Achille Castliglioni and his brother Piercomo for Flos in the 1960s made use of innovative resin spinning techniques to create a futuristic yet organic form. This version, the Teraxacum 88 Suspension light, was designed in the late 1980's and reverts to the most simplistic of geometric arrangements. A series of triangles are linked to create a support for a series of globe bulbs. The result is a timeless design that celebrates pure form and light itself.
The Teraxacum light is available in two versions. The S1 is 80cm in diameter and can hold 60 bulbs. The S2 is 105cm wide in diameter and holds 120 bulbs. The structure provides both direct and reflected light.
Please note this fitting is supplied without the bulbs.
The 1960's were a period of great experimentation and creativity in Italian lighting design, and there is no company more associated with this innovative period than Flos. Working with designers such as Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni at their creative peak, they developed iconic table lamps such as Taccia and Snoopy as well as the Arco Floor Lamp, one of the world's most desired (and oft-imitated) designs.
Flos is also synonymous with 'The Cocoon Technique', originally used by the US Army as a protective material for packaging, this special resin sprayed on a steel structure gave birth to several iconic pieces designed by the Castiglioni brothers and Tobia Scarpa such as the Taraxacum Pendant Light. ..
The Teraxacum Pendant Light is a mid century Italian design classic devised by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos. It uses the 'cocoon' technique first developed by the US Military during WWII to create the famous spun resin shape.
