TACCIA AND TACCIA SMALL
Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, 1962
I fratelli Achille e Pier Gia-
como Castiglioni avevano
ideato l’iconico riflettore
a coppa in materia plas-
tica trasparente. L’idea fu
abbandonata per le defor-
mazioni generate su di esso
dal calore della sorgente
luminosa a incandescen-
za. Il prototipo fu quindi
sviluppato e prodotto da
Flos nel 1962 con la celebre
ed imponente coppa in
vetro soffiato. Grazie all’uso
di una innovativa sorgente
luminosa a LED è oggi pos-
sibile editare Taccia in una
nuova versione con diffu-
sore in plastica trasparente,
esattamente fedele all’idea
originale.
In the Castiglioni brothers’
original design, the iconic
bowl reflector was made
of transparent plastic. This
idea was discarded though
because the heat emitted
by the incandescent light
source deformed the plastic
material. The prototype
was then developed and
produced by Flos in 1962,
with its famous big blown
glass bowl. Thanks to the
use of a cutting-edge LED
light source is now possi-
ble to edit a new version of
Taccia with a transparent
plastic diffuser that is
accurately faithful to the
original concept.
