Toio floor lamp

Achille & Piero Castiglioni  

Flos 

Italy

1962

 
 

First model of the Toio lamp designed by Achille & his brother Piero Giacomo Castiglioni and manufactured by Flos.

 

The idea that a car headlamp could work as a light source led to the creation of this famous floor lamp. All the components are exposed in their original form: transformer, electric cable, car headlamp.

The steel base is painted in red. The hexagonal nickel-plated brass stem is adjustable in height and has a telescopic head.

All original parts in a good vintage condition. 

 H: 158 cm - 195 cm x L 21 cm x W 20 cm 

* Toio is all about fun, the lamp owes its name to the ironic distortion of the English word toy
