Lampadina

A table lamp conceived by Achille Castiglioni for the opening of the Flos showroom in Turin in 1972, Lampadina reflects its name in its genial terseness.‎ A large bulb lamp, partially satin finished to limit its reverberation, housed on a bulb holder with built-in switch and supported on a reel-like aluminium base, useful for rolling up excess cable.‎ Table lamp providing direct, diffused light.‎ Anodized aluminum base serves to contain excess power cord.‎ Bakelite lamp-holder, painted to match the switch in the orange and black colors.‎ Clear globe lamp is partially sandblasted to diffuse the light.‎
