Contemporary interior with Taraxacum 88 pendant as design focal point.

Taraxacum 88 Suspension 1 by Flos

from £4,600

There are lights that decorate a room, and then there are lights that define it. The Taraxacum 88 by Flos is firmly the latter. A true icon of Italian designer lighting, it has been earning its place in exceptional interiors for decades — and it still feels completely fresh. That's the mark of design that genuinely gets it right.

The concept is beautifully simple: the light isn't just part of the lamp, it is the lamp. Every bulb, every angle, every element exists because it needs to. Taraxacum 88 sits right where function meets expression. It’s not decorative just for the sake of it. The beauty comes from how it’s put together—everything makes sense, nothing’s extra. That’s why it still feels fresh, no matter how styles change. The result is a luxury ceiling light that feels open and sculptural without ever overpowering a space, delivering a soft, even glow with real depth and warmth rather than harsh contrasts or flat illumination.

What makes the Taraxacum 88 so enduring is its versatility. It works beautifully as a statement pendant light in a grand dining room, a contemporary living room, or a carefully considered open-plan space — the open form means it never feels bulky, regardless of the scale around it. If you're searching for a designer ceiling light that will anchor a room and stand the test of time, this is it.

At Abitalia South Coast, we present the Taraxacum 88 as part of our curated lighting collection, available to clients across Dorset, Hampshire and Surrey from our Poole showroom. Come in and see it for yourself.

  • What ‘Made to Order’ Means at Abitalia

    At Abitalia, made to order means exactly that. The furniture, kitchens, wardrobes, sofas, lighting and architectural elements we supply are not held in stock or produced in bulk. Each piece is manufactured specifically for a client once a project has been designed and confirmed.

    Our collections are produced by specialist manufacturers and craftspeople across Europe, many of whom have been refining their techniques for generations. Every item is built to the agreed dimensions, finishes and specifications for your project.

    Bespoke Design and Personalisation

    Most projects require some level of personalisation. This may be as simple as selecting a specific finish or fabric, or it may involve adjusting dimensions, layouts or internal configurations.

    During the design process we work closely with clients to refine these details so that the finished pieces integrate properly with the architecture and overall interior scheme. The goal is always the same: to produce something that fits the space precisely and feels considered rather than standardised.

    How to Place an Order

    We do not operate as an online retailer with instant checkout. Our work begins with a conversation.

    Clients typically visit the showroom or contact our design team to discuss the project. We then guide you through the available collections, materials and finishes before preparing drawings and quotations. Once the design and specification are approved, the order is placed into production.

    Lead Times and Delivery

    Because items are manufactured to order, lead times are longer than off-the-shelf furniture. Production times vary depending on the manufacturer and the complexity of the piece, but we provide clear guidance at the time of order and keep clients updated throughout the process.

    When the items arrive in the UK, we coordinate delivery and installation so everything arrives safely and as expected.

    Returns and Cancellations

    As products are made specifically for each client, standard UK cancellation rights for distance selling do not apply once production has begun.

    However, if a product arrives damaged, faulty, or not as specified, we will of course resolve the issue promptly in line with our obligations under UK consumer law.

    Visiting Our Showroom

    Our Poole showroom displays a curated selection of kitchens, wardrobes, furniture and materials from our partner manufacturers. While most pieces are produced to order, the showroom allows clients to experience the quality, finishes and design principles behind the collections we work with.

    Working With Abitalia

    Our role is to guide clients through the design and specification process and to coordinate the manufacturing and delivery of carefully considered interior elements.

    If you would like to discuss a project or learn more about our collections, our team would be happy to help.
