The exhibitions.
The graffiti.
A radiant ode to art deco design.
Suspended within the 4th Floor of TwoFortyThirty, the Taraxacum 88 S1 ceiling lamp is more than just a light fixture—it is a luminous work of art that transforms the space. Designed by the legendary Achille Castiglioni, this sculptural masterpiece was inspired by the organic beauty of the dandelion flower, embodying both delicate intricacy and bold brilliance.
At its core, a cluster of polished aluminum triangles forms a striking geometric foundation, while a constellation of clear bulbs radiates outward, casting a mesmerizing glow. Its interplay of industrial precision and organic spontaneity makes it an icon of modern design, effortlessly balancing form and function.
Visible from the windows of TwoFortyThirty, this glowing beacon illuminates the streets of 30th Street in New York City every night, becoming a part of the urban landscape. Whether seen from within or admired from afar, the Taraxacum 88 S1 remains a testament to timeless innovation, elegance, and artistic expression.
