In 2019, FLOS USA introduces a limited-edition matte-black version of the global design icon, Toio designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for FLOS in 1962. Toio’s steel base is rendered in a dark embossed finish and the visible transformer is also painted black in a special global run of 2,500 pieces. The matte-black design is available along with the lamp’s signature glossy black and red finishes.<\/p>\n

The 1962 Toio light surprises with its unexpected design. Italian duo Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni had a 300-watt car headlight shipped from the United States, which they joined with parts of a fishing rod to form a functional floor lamp. One of the duo’s experiments with readymade objects, Toio has become a design classic thanks to its surprising material juxtaposition and striking industrial appearance.<\/p>\n

The fixture’s form is composed of a nickel-plated brass hexagonal stem that uses fishing rod rings to guide the electrical cord from the bulb to the transformer. A cleat on the base, similar to those found on ships, keeps the cord neatly coiled when the lamp’s height is adjusted.<\/p>\n

Inspiration:
\nIngenious inventors Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni affixed a car headlight to parts of a fishing rod to form Toio, a playful floor lamp named after the word “toy.”<\/p>\n

This item is exclusively offered through 1stdibs and FLOS and is only available in the United States and Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n
