Bibip floor lamp designed in 1977 by Achille Castiglioni and manufactured by lighting company Flos.

Bibip is an adjustable light, that can be used both as an uplighter and as a downlighter. The black enamelled slender stem ends in a ceramic element and a reflector in die-cast aluminum alloy which support a lamp holder for a halogen light source (E14, max 250 watts). The reflector is manoeuverable via a ring that remains cool even when the lamp is switched on.

The lamp is stabilised by a semi-spherical ceramic base that is filled with sand.

Giuliana Gramigna mentions Bibip in her standard work on Italian design Repertorio del Design Italiano 1950-2000 on page 244 (1976).
