Tubino Table lamp by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos, 1970s

The Tubino tablelamp was designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni already in 1949 (!). Initially, the lamp was produced by Arredoluce, from the 1970s it was taken into production by Flos.

The lamp is specifically designed for a neon light source (Flos edition: 8 watt tubular fluorescent lamp). The lamp consists of an elegantly curved metal base that ends in the holder for the neon tube. The light from this tube can be directed by a rotating aluminium reflector.

The Tubino lamp can also be attached to the wall.
