Flos Taraxacum 88 S Pendant Light
The Flos Taraxacum 88 S Pendant Light, designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1988, is a bold expression of modern industrial design. Built from twenty pressed and polished aluminium triangles, the structure forms a geometric framework that reflects light in all directions. Sixty clear Globolux bulbs are arranged around the frame, creating a luminous sphere that glows with both direct and reflected light. The design is striking yet balanced, combining technical precision with the playful curiosity that defined Castiglioni’s work.
Suspended from a steel ceiling fitting and rose, the Taraxacum 88 S makes a dramatic centrepiece in large spaces, from contemporary homes to architectural interiors. Its mirrored surfaces amplify brightness while its exposed bulbs give the lamp an open, sculptural quality. This pendant embodies Flos’s legacy of innovation and Italian craftsmanship, remaining one of the most recognisable and enduring lighting designs of the twentieth century.
