Toio lamp by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos

Toio leveraging a beacon of special car from 300 watt (Par 56 in silver caÂlotta and moulded glass), imported from the United States that year, Castiglioni confirm a particular trend, already manifested with Luminator: the use of the constituent elements of the device to determine its shape. Thus, from the Assembly of industrial objects in production, changing the functions and looking for new designs, a floor lamp with indirect light. The metal base lacquered red, weight-foot for stability of the lamp, welcomes the universal transformer, left exposed, necessary to compensate for the difference in voltage between the light source (125 volt) and voltage (220 volts)On it, a metal structure acts as a handle and chrome-plated hexagonal drawn rod, a port equipped with fishing pole loops to hold the external electrical conductors; a screw allows adjustment of the height of boom (from 170 to 200 cm) and two blades are used to wrap the remaining cable. At the Summit, the source is greeted by a special frame, consisting of two curved rods that is welded to a metal ring.
