AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and scenographic Taraxacum 88 (S1) vintage chandelier, one of the icons of the 1980s
60-bulb version
Taraxacum 88 is a sculptural, impactful hanging lamp designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1988. Conceived as a contemporary chandelier, it evolves from the original Taraxacum model with a bold, industrial character, replacing the Cocoon surface with exposed bulbs, continuing to evoke the head of a dandelion. Designed for large shared spaces, it represents a radical departure from traditional pendant lamps and embodies Castiglioni's fascination with technical innovation. A true design icon, Taraxacum 88 combines functionality, cutting-edge aesthetics, and Castiglioni's characteristic irony.
Diameter: about 66 cm
Total diameter: 80 cm, height about 120 cm (adjustable)
Fitted with 60 E27 220V bulbs
Conditions are good: vintage structure with signs of wear. All bulbs are present
The chandelier will be fully dismantled and shipped on a pallet, properly packed to avoid breakage and damage. Likewise, the bulbs will be carefully packed
