Taraxacum '88 S
- Designed by: Achille Castiglioni
- Price: $4,984.00
- More Info: achillecastiglioni.it
Achille Castiglioni's Taraxacum '88 was named for the ethereal dandelion, and the 60 transparent bulbs that adorn the polished aluminum icosahdron are truly luminous when switched on. It's a showstopper, no doubt, not for the wallflowers (or energy-savers) out there.
