Designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962, the Taccia table lamp features a tiltable glass diffuser and aluminium reflector for indirect light, with a dimmable switch and a nickel-plated base available in multiple finishes.
The Taccia, designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962, is a table lamp featuring a painted aluminium reflector, gloss white on the exterior and matte white on the interior, designed to reflect light upward and outward. The transparent blown glass diffuser, slightly curved and resting freely on the body, can be tilted to direct the light as needed. This combination allows the lamp to provide a soft, reflected glow while remaining adaptable to different positions.
The base, made from nickel-plated ABS and polycarbonate, is available in a range of finishes, offering a subtle contrast to the glass and aluminium components above. An electric cable measuring 190 cm in length includes an inline dimmer switch, enabling light adjustment from 10% to full brightness and simple ON/OFF control. The lamp is powered via a plug-in adapter with interchangeable plugs to suit various socket types. Taccia reflects a careful exploration of balance, proportion and indirect light, characteristic of the Castiglioni brothers’ approach to design.
