Frequently Asked Questions

What type of light does the Toio floor lamp produce?

The Toio casts indirect upward light, using a reflector derived from an automobile headlight. The effect is a broad, diffuse ambient glow rather than focused task illumination.

Has the Toio been updated from halogen to LED?

Yes. The current production version retains the original automobile-derived reflector form but uses an LED light source in place of the halogen bulb, improving energy efficiency without altering the lamp's visual character.

Who designed the Flos Toio and when?

The Toio was designed by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and introduced in 1962. It is one of their most recognized works, exemplifying their philosophy of using ready-made industrial objects as a starting point for design.

Is the Toio adjustable in height?

Yes. The stem telescopes, allowing the height of the lamp to be adjusted to suit the space and the desired quality of light.

Why is the Toio considered an icon of Italian design?

The Toio challenged conventional assumptions about what a domestic lamp should look like by repurposing an automobile headlight and fishing rod hardware with wit and formal rigor. It was among the first works to treat industrial ready-mades as legitimate design materials, influencing generations of designers.
