La lampe Taccia est une icône du design, conçue par les frères Castiglioni pour Flos et produite pour la première fois en 1962. Cette lampe de table à lumière indirecte et réfléchie est constituée d'un réflecteur en métal verni posé sur un diffuseur orientable, lui-même en verre transparent soufflé à la bouche. La taille du diffuseur est volontairement disproportionnée par rapport au socle en aluminium noir, inspiré des colonnes antiques, sur lequel il est juste posé. En fonction de l'orientation du diffuseur, la lampe Taccia émet un éclairage large, ou plus concentré.

Italian designers and brothers Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni both studied architecture at Milan Polytechnic. The first graduated in 1937, and Achille, the last of the family, also graduated in 1944. He then joined his two older brothers in their design studio in Milan and, together, they developed design projects for Italian companies looking to revive their country's post-war economy. Their work stands out for its particular conception of products through a logical analysis of the functions that the object must fulfil and the means to achieve this. The design, which is very pure, comes next to enable the object to perform its functions. Between 1950 and 1960, the Castiglioni brothers designed a number of products for major brands such as Flos, which produced the Arco floor lamp, a design classic, and Zanotta, for which they created the famous Mezzadro stool with a tractor saddle. The death of Pier Giacomo in 1968 put an end to the collaborations. After the death of his brother, Achille continued to design but devoted most of his time to teaching design, first in Turin and then in Milan.
