Flos Taraxacum connects the Castiglioni brothers’ translucent Cocoon pendant with Achille Castiglioni’s later Taraxacum 88 designs.
The original stretches resin over a shaped steel frame, diffusing light through a membrane. The 88 suspension instead arranges sixty exposed globe bulbs around polished aluminum triangles, with a smaller fifteen-bulb wall-and-ceiling version. These related designs use different materials and light treatments, moving from an enclosed glowing volume to an open geometric structure.
The pieces. Three in the collection.
Designed by
Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni
Architects Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni worked together in Milan on exhibitions, products and architecture. Their collaboration continued until Pier Giacomo's death in 1968. Lighting designs such as Arco connect research into industrial production with practical observations about how everyday objects are used.
