Taraxacum 88 Suspension 1
Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni named this pendant after the common dandelion, a plant whose radiating symmetry they studied across decades of collaborative practice. Designed in 1988, the Taraxacum 88 translates that geometry into a near-spherical icosahedron: twenty polished die-cast aluminum triangular faces, precisely angled to cradle sixty clear Globolux lamps.
The piece performs differently at different distances. From across a large room it reads as a single luminous mass, dense and complete. Closer, the composition opens up: individual facets, exposed bulbs, and cascading reflections reveal the industrial rigor beneath the sculptural surface. Light travels both directly outward and back off the polished aluminum, filling generous volumes with an ambient glow that avoids harshness.
- Polished die-cast aluminum icosahedral frame
- Twenty triangular faces, sixty clear Globolux lamps
- Suited to large-scale residential and public interiors
- Designed 1988, Flos production
