The dazzling Taraxacum 88 was designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1988 and is an update of his first Taraxacum that was created almost 30 years earlier.The Taraxacum, which is the generic name for the dandelion flower, was inspired by the idea of creating a light source to replace the classic chandelier. The lamp structure is made from equilateral triangles of polished aluminium that have been hinged together to form an icosahedron (a figure with 20 faces), which acts as a skeleton to conceal the electrical wires and hold the bulbs. Each of the faces holds three bulbs with 60 bulbs used in total.Its ceiling fitting and rose is made from steel ensuring the lamp is securely supported.It takes 60 maximum 40W 1AG bulbs that will need to be purchased in addition to the light fitting.
