Flos Taccia Table Lamp

The Flos Taccia Table Lamp is the original Castiglioni design reissued by Flos, a sculptural table lamp that delivers considered, indirect light. Designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962, it reads as a floating hemispherical diffuser atop a fluted aluminium body, intended for living spaces and architectural interiors.

Formally the Taccia pairs a deep, inverted blown-glass bowl with a visible white reflector that returns soft, even light. It is offered in three appearance options: Aluminized Bronze, Black, and Anodized Silver, so you can choose a finish that anchors or recedes within a scheme.

Construction is honest and purposeful: a painted aluminium reflector (gloss white outside, matt white inside) sits within a transparent blown-glass diffuser. The body is formed from extruded aluminium with vertical fluting and the support sits on a nickel-plated ABS+PC base. The lamp is supplied with a 190 cm cable.

Light is emitted from a concealed source within the fluted base, projected upward into the parabolic reflector then softened by the glass bowl for a glare-free, reflected output. The glass diffuser is directionable, allowing subtle adjustment of the beam and distribution for task or ambient layering.

Practical details are straightforward: the Taccia includes a plug-in power supply with interchangeable plugs and an in-line dimmer switch on the 190 cm cable that adjusts luminous output from 10–100%. IP20 rating indicates this is for indoor use only. A two-year manufacturer warranty is provided.
