Achille + Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Teli, Flos 1973
The Teli pendant lamp was originally designed by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1957 for the XI Triennale di Milano of 1957, and put into production by Flos in 1973. For the design of the Teli (which means sheets or lengths of cloth in Italian), the Castiglioni brothers used a synthetic textile called Raflon typically used for low cost packaging, like bags for holding rice for example. The lamp is constructed using two sheets of fabric: one suspended from small hooks on a square metal plate, and the other draped over the top. Chrome metal rods are threaded through the seams of the fabric sheets to add weight and ballast.
A real collectors piece that is rarely available, this example of the Teli is in mint unused condition and comes complete in its original packaging. The sale does not include the E27 light source.
