AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Toio Floor Lamp new, never used, with original box - WHITE. LED version.

Slim, slender and austere, Flos' Toio floor lamp is one of the most loved projects by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. Steel base and steel profiles structure, both liquid-painted. Available in several color finishes.

Designed in 1962, Toio is a decidedly revolutionary floor lamp, born from the ready-made assembly of industrial objects, modified in their functions in an innovative look. Composed of a 300-watt car headlamp (not included) imported in the early 1960s from the United States, and a telescopic stem inspired by a fishing rod, Flos's Toio lamp emits indirect light into the environment. Easy to transport, it offers maximum flexibility, adaptability and functionality. Its name indicates a distortion of the English term toy, meaning “plaything.” The Castiglioni Toio lamp expresses surprising genius, bringing the magic of a toy into the adult world.

Characteristics of the Flos Toio floor lamp:
- Floor illumination device with indirect light.
- Base cut-and-bent steel and stem in steel profiles, both painted by liquid coating, in the various colors.
- Stem with a hexagonal section in nickel-plated brass.
- The telescopic movement of the rod allows the height of the device to be adjusted.
- The cord has an electronic dimmer that allows stepping regulation of light intensity.

Light Source:
1 x Flos halogen bulb For Toio 23W PAR56 2500K GX16d Flos 230/240V with dimmer (bulb/headlamp pictured not included).

WARNING: Voltage for Italy and Europe
