From the Cocoon lamp to exposed bulbs

Flos describes Taraxacum 88 as a pendant lamp in the line of the original Taraxacum. It keeps the idea of a dandelion head but drops the Cocoon surface and shows the bulbs.

A chandelier for large spaces

Flos presents it as a contemporary chandelier with a bold, industrial character and a radical departure from traditional pendant lamps. It reflects Castiglioni's interest in technical innovation and his signature wit.
