Know before you buy
The glass diffuser is the original material choice, offering a classic, high-end feel, while the PMMA (methacrylate) version is lighter and more impact-resistant. Both options provide the same iconic aesthetic and light quality, so the choice primarily comes down to your preference for material weight and durability.
Yes, the Taccia features a pivoting bowl that allows you to tilt the diffuser. This gives you control over the light direction, letting you bounce it off the ceiling or angle it to suit your specific task or mood.
The Taccia uses a high-quality integrated LED module designed for a long lifespan. Because it is built into the lamp's architecture, it is not intended to be replaced by the user, but it is rated for many years of consistent daily use.
The glass version of the lamp weighs approximately 23.7 lbs. Given its substantial weight and 25.4-inch height, it is best suited for sturdy surfaces like a console table, desk, or sideboard.
Yes, the Taccia is equipped with a dimmable function, allowing you to adjust the light intensity to your preference. This makes it versatile enough to serve as both a bright task light and a soft, ambient accent lamp.
The distinctive ribbed metal base is not just an aesthetic choice; it is engineered to dissipate heat. This design ensures the lamp remains cool to the touch even after extended periods of use.
