Taccia PMMA Table Lamp by Flos was designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962 and remains one of the most celebrated table lamp designs in the history of Italian lighting. Taccia's form consists of a broad, mouth-blown reflector bowl balanced directly atop a simple cylindrical base, with the light source concealed inside the base and reflected upward and outward by the bowl above — a construction of striking formal directness that has kept the design in continuous, largely unmodified production for over sixty years. This PMMA variant renders the reflector in durable acrylic rather than the original hand-blown glass. Its considerable design heritage, dating to the original 1962 introduction, gives it lasting credibility across residential and commercial specification.
The Taccia PMMA's reflected, indirect light distribution produces a warm, glare-free glow that avoids any direct view of the bulb, while its acrylic reflector bowl offers greater durability and a lower cost than the original glass version without significantly compromising the design's essential visual character. Its confident, architecturally sculptural silhouette makes it an effective statement piece on a desk, console or side table, and its status as a genuine design icon gives it lasting credibility in both residential and commercial specification. Its durable acrylic construction also makes it a practical choice for higher-traffic commercial and hospitality environments.
Architects and interior designers specifying Taccia PMMA for residential and commercial surface-lighting applications will find the DWG drawing essential for furniture-surface coordination and lighting-plan documentation.
