Taraxacum ceiling lamp designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos, 1960, first production, amazing patina.
\nInternal structure in white painted steel, sprayed with special resin cocoon, excellent condition.
\nOriginal piece of the 60s, despite the fragility of the material, this Taraxacum pendant lamp is in excellent vintage condition, The original lampshade remains intact with an incredible patina acquired over the years.The lamp has been overhauled by a professional, fully functional.
\nExperimenting with a patent of the Heisenkeil company in Merano, acquired by Flos, the Castiglioni family explores the expressive possibilities of a synthetic fiber, already used in some lamps designed by George Nelson and Isamu Noguchi, called the cocoon (cocoon). This material was used by the US military to preserve the weapons to be transported or no longer in use. The shape of the speakers is generated by the arrangement of the fiber, which rests on the structure, adhering only to the most protruding points. The devices are formed, in fact, by a thin core of white lacquered metal rod, wrapped by the casing obtained from a film formed by plastic polymers sprayed. In this way volumes of unusual shape are obtained, certainly intuited by the designers, but that could hardly have been designed without experimentation in the laboratory. In fact, the final shape is the result of a punctual intervention in the rotation of the structure, during the spraying of the fiber, more intense in the points of greater protrusion than in other areas.
