TARAXACUM 88 S1 Pendant light

Breathtaking, unique, extravagant – the Taraxacum 88 S1 is a light object that perfectly combines functionality, form and fascination. Designer Achille Castiglioni was already 70 years old when he designed the Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant light in 1988. In the design of the Taraxacum lighting series, the experience gained over decades and the knowledge of the industrial designer about shape and design, materials and manufacture were incorporated. While the early Castiglioni lamp designs were previously made by other manufacturers, the Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant light was manufactured by Flos from the beginning.

Inspired by the dandelion, the previous form of a dandelion flower, Achille Castiglioni named his round light sculpture after the botanical name of the dandelion, Taraxacum. Like the dandelion, which sends its seeds reminiscent of gliders out into the world with a breath of wind, the Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant light directs its light outwards and illuminates its surrounding. The viewer does not only succumb to the special charm of the Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant light when it lights up. The very shape of the lamp embodies elegance, lightness and luxury. This applies to the Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant lamp as well as to its big sister, Taraxacum 88 S2 and the wall and ceiling lamp Taraxacum 88 C/W.

But the Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant lamp does not only convince visually. The design is as simple as it is ingenious. Because, 20 parts made of polished aluminum in the shape of triangles form the heart of the Taraxacum 88 S1, the almost round luminaire body. The triangles are held together mechanically by metal bars. With a diameter of 80 centimeters, the pendant lamp is equipped with a textile-covered power cable of 5.5 meters in length. A steel relief rope and canopy are robust enough to keep the 10.6 kilogram Taraxacum 88 S1 lamp in balance. The luminaire body is equipped with 60 globe bulbs, which are arranged all around and underline the spherical shape. The globe bulbs with LED technology are available separately and can be purchased in the TAGWERC Design STORE as separate item.

The special design, paired with well thought-out technology, make the Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant light by Flos the ideal, light-giving companion. In old buildings, a staircase, a gallery, in the foyer, the lobby or in the reception area – the Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant lamp can be ideally used as a light accent and light sculpture. As a highlight at home or in a professional space – Flos Taraxacum 88 S1 from the TAGWERC Design Store guarantees the perfect accent.

As a design classic, the modern chandelier Taraxacum 88 S1 by Flos combines timeless design with modern technology. The Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant lamp by Achille Castiglioni is part of the Flos collection by TAGWERC. In the TAGWERC Design STORE you purchase design originals from the current production, i.e. new goods in original packaging, as well as all original spare parts for the lamps from the Taraxacum 88 lamp family. The Taraxacum 88 S1 pendant lamp is only made to order.
