Innovative material solutions

The Taraxacum luminaire uses a unique cocoon-shaped resin that was very innovative at the time of its creation. This material makes it possible to create a delicate yet durable diffuser that diffuses light perfectly while resisting damage and aging.

An icon of Italian design

Taraxacum is considered one of the key works of Achilles and Piero Giacomo Castiglioni, which still inspires designers around the world today. Its timeless look and unique way of spreading light make it not only a functional light but also a piece of art for the interior.

Designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni

Achille Castiglioni (1918-2002) and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni (1913-1968) were important Italian designers and architects who made an indelible mark on the history of modern design. Together they created dozens of iconic products that are characterized by their ingenuity, functionality and aesthetics. Their collaboration began after Achille joined the studio that Pier Giacomo ran with his older brother Livio in 1944. After Livio left in 1952, Achille and Pier Giacomo formed an inseparable team until Pier Giacomo's death in 1968. Among their most famous creations is the Arco light, which is still in production today and has become a symbol of the design intelligence of post-war Italy.
