Taraxacum 1
Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni designed the Taraxacum 1 in 1960, drawing its geometry from one of nature's most precise structures: the dandelion. The form is not imitation but translation, a rigorous study in radial symmetry rendered in white powder-coated steel.
Its defining material gesture is the cocoon resin, sprayed directly onto the steel frame to create a membrane-like diffuser. Light spreads softly outward in every direction, without glare, without hard edges. The result is an atmosphere of remarkable evenness, where the source itself seems to dissolve into the room.
- Powder-coated steel structure with cocoon resin diffuser
- Omnidirectional light distribution
- Designed in 1960, in continuous production since
- Suitable for residential and contract interiors
The Taraxacum 1 belongs to a generation of Italian design objects that treated the lamp as a philosophical proposition, asking what light could be when form, material, and function arrive at the same answer simultaneously.
