Pair of “Padina” ceiling lights by Achille Castiglioni for Flos, 1960s

Designed by Achille Castiglioni for Flos in the 1960s, the Padina ceiling light distils the designer's ability to transform a technical solution into an object of remarkable formal clarity. Its compact, lens-like volume develops around the light source through a series of concentric rings that define the reflector and give the fixture its unmistakable identity. Crafted from turned satin-finished aluminium, the surface softly reflects the light, highlighting the precision of its manufacture and the purity of its geometry. Free from unnecessary decoration, the design relies entirely on the relationship between material, light and form, perfectly expressing Castiglioni's rational and functional approach. Offered as a pair, these ceiling lights create balanced and rhythmic compositions, making them equally suitable for domestic interiors and professional spaces. A timeless design that reflects the enduring collaboration between Flos and Achille Castiglioni, where simplicity and intelligence come together in a truly lasting project. Condition: Good overall condition. Minor scratches and light dents consistent with age and use. Dimensions: Diameter 24 cm – Height 11.5 cm. Ref.: L0886.
