Achille Castiglioni’s Taraxacum 88 Pendant Lamp

今天要介绍的是由意大利设计大师Achille Castiglioni设计，Flos出品的Taraxacum 88 Pendant Lamp。Achille Castiglioni十分擅长在日常生活中找到灵感，并使用不锈钢，铝等日常材料进行设计。Taraxacum是蒲公英的英文学名，但这款灯具并不想蒲公英那样脆弱，它有能力持久的供应直射和折射灯光。全灯有20个铝制三角和60个灯泡。这样的比例使得直射光线和折射灯光达到了完美平衡。

Taraxacum is the scientific name for the plant commonly known as dandelion, but unlike a weed that can become a lawn pest, the Taraxacum 88 is sculptural art that provides direct and reflected light. Hanging from a steel ceiling rose, the structure is made of 20 pressed and polished aluminum triangles that reflect the light of 60 clear globes. Almost like a reversed version of the original Taraxacum, which hid the bulbs under a transparent diffuser, the Taraxacum 88 celebrates the play of reflection and light. The lamp has a satisfying balance between the contrasting shapes of the round bulbs and triangular backdrops, as well as in its mixture of warm incandescent light and cool aluminum. Bulbs (included): incandescent 25W/120V/G40 medium.
