Product Information
Description
Thanks to the use of a cutting-edge LED light source, with very high efficiency and color rendering index, but reduced heat emission, Flos has finally been able to edit a new version of Taccia with a transparent plastic diffuser that is accurately faithful to the original concept. The most advanced injection moulding technologies have helped to achieve a perfect bowl shape, maintaining a uniform surface both inside and out. In addition, the use of laser cutting techniques with unparalleled performance mean that the injection point is now invisible. The transparency and brilliancy of the methacrylate are also guaranteed to last forever thanks to the special properties of the material used, which does not degrade under the effects of UV rays.The end result of this ‘recovered’ version of Taccia is amazing in terms of its quality and beauty.
1962: Flos commit themselves to completing development work on a final prototype and producing the lamp. The final prototype is made of various parts including: an aluminum reflector, with a matt white lacquered outer and a polished white inner surface, a supporting bowl in transparent glass, resistant to high temperature.
2010: Flos studies the possibility of replacing the traditional light source, an incandescent bulb, with a new remote phosphor LED source, and introduces Taccia LED. This is one of the first successful cases of upgrading the technology of a historical, iconic piece of lighting design.
2016: Flos tests the use of PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate) to produce the bowl. Thanks to the use of a low heath emitting COB LED source and innovative plastic manufacturing technology, the bowl now retains its shape perfectly. The new version of Taccia, faithful to the original 1958 prototype, is introduced during the 55thSalone del Mobile in Milan.
