Everything you need to know

The Taccia Olympics table lamp pays homage to one of the most iconic Italian designs of the 1960s. Its striking silhouette—a large inverted bowl-shaped blown glass shade resting on a fluted cylindrical aluminum base—combines geometric rigor with the richness of artisanal glass. Light, projected upward from inside the base, reflects off the concave surface of the bowl to cast a perfectly controlled, diffused light downward. Available in 2 sizes (Medium and Large) and 4 sophisticated finishes (Royal Silver, Black Ebony, Sublime Bronze, Ruby Red). Universal E27 socket. Free shipping. Customer rating 4.9/5.

2 sizes available

The Large size offers a more pronounced sculptural, architectural presence and extended light diffusion (50W vs 41W). The Medium size remains impressive while adapting to more contained spaces.

The genius of indirect light

The Taccia Olympics is inspired by a revolutionary gesture in 1960s Italian design: placing an inverted glass bowl over a light source to transform a lamp into a luminous sculpture. The E27 light placed inside the fluted base is projected upward, hits the concave surface of the glass shade, and then descends as controlled, diffused light onto the table. No direct glare, just an enveloping luminous aura. The fluted aluminum base evokes the classic columns of Greco-Roman architecture—a dialogue between industrial modernity and ancient heritage that distinguishes the best Italian designs of the 20th century.

Bulb tip. Opt for an E27 LED bulb in warm white (2700K), 800 to 1200 lumens intensity, globe or Edison filament shape. Since the light is projected upward and then reflected off the blown glass, you get an enveloping, diffused illumination. A visible-filament Edison LED is particularly enhanced by this setup: its reflections in the glass bowl create a fascinating light effect. Maximum power: 41W (Medium) or 50W (Large) — easily met by any modern LED (8-15W consumption).

Taccia Olympics or HENG Balance / SPIRIT? The Taccia is a vertical sculptural table lamp with an imposing format (up to 64.5 cm in height), featuring a blown glass shade and fluted aluminum base — an iconic Italian design aesthetic. The HENG Balance and SPIRIT are vertical flat oval lamps with magnetic ignition, compact format (40 cm), and minimalist Dutch design. Choose Taccia for an architectural, heritage presence as a centerpiece, and HENG for the subtle magic of a designer desk or bedside object.

Blown glass precautions. The blown glass shade is a noble but fragile material — handle with care during unpacking and cleaning. The Large format (D 49.5 × H 64.5 cm) is particularly imposing: ensure a stable and suitable location. The heat generated by the bulb can be noticeable at the base after several hours of use: prefer an LED bulb that stays cool rather than a traditional incandescent bulb. Avoid handling the bulb just after turning it off (let it cool for 10 minutes).

Timeless design gift. The Taccia Olympics lamp is a striking gift for lovers of Italian design and heritage objects. The Medium size in Royal Silver or Black Ebony suits clean, contemporary interiors. The Large size in Sublime Bronze is an exceptional gift that becomes a centerpiece for a living room or large office. Ruby Red is an offbeat accent for bold or Art Deco-inspired decor. Ideal for housewarmings, weddings, milestone birthdays, or retirement — an object that will last and grace an interior for decades to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size to choose: Medium or Large?
The Medium size (D 37.3 × H 48.5 cm) is suitable for a desk, entrance console, bedside table, or bookshelf in a standard-sized room (15-25 m²). The Large size (D 49.5 × H 64.5 cm) becomes a true architectural centerpiece — it is designed for large living rooms, entrance halls, lofts, executive offices, or large consoles. If the dedicated space is limited (narrow coffee table, small console), stick to the Medium format. For an assumed "wow" effect as a central piece, the Large size is unbeatable.
Why an inverted bowl shade?
It is the brilliant innovation of the original design. Light from the E27 bulb placed in the base is projected upward, hits the inner concave surface of the glass shade, and then descends as enveloping diffused light onto the table. Advantages: no direct glare (you never see the filament), soft and homogeneous light, and the creation of a luminous aura around the lamp that makes it as much a sculpture as a light source. It is the principle of indirect light pushed to its aesthetic conclusion.
Which bulb to choose to bring out the lamp's potential?
An E27 Edison LED with a visible filament, in warm white (2700 Kelvin), 800 to 1200 lumens intensity. Why Edison? Since light is reflected off the blown glass, the decorative filament creates fascinating reflections in the glass bowl. Why 2700K? Ambient warmth is the spirit of the Taccia lamp, ideal for living room, bedside, or residential office lighting. Absolutely avoid 5000K or higher bulbs, and classic incandescent bulbs, which release too much heat on the blown glass.
Do the 4 finishes have the same aesthetic?
All 4 finishes share the same silhouette but offer distinct decorative universes. Royal Silver (mirror-finish polished aluminum): contemporary elegance, ideal for Scandinavian, Japandi, or minimalist interiors. Black Ebony (matte black aluminum): architectural graphic presence, perfect for masculine, contemporary, or industrial chic interiors. Sublime Bronze (patinated bronze aluminum): warm heritage luster, ideal for Art Deco, mid-century, or warm-toned contemporary interiors. Ruby Red (deep red aluminum): intense, vibrant accent, a bold choice for colorful or minimalist decors seeking a strong decorative pop.
Is the bulb provided?
No, the E27 bulb is not included. The universal E27 socket accepts almost all LED, decorative Edison, globe, or classic bulbs on the market. This allows you to freely choose the color temperature (warm/neutral/cool white), intensity, and bulb shape according to your preferences. The maximum supported power is 41W for the Medium size and 50W for the Large size — all modern LEDs (8-15W) easily respect these limits.
What does 111-240V voltage mean?
The Taccia Olympics is compatible with all countries in the world. It accepts both 110V (North America, Japan) and 220-240V (Europe, Asia, Africa). No voltage adapter is required if you move internationally or equip a real estate project in a foreign country. This makes it an excellent option for professional projects (hotels, restaurants, commercial chains) that can standardize their lighting with this universal reference.
How to care for the blown glass and aluminum?
For the blown glass shade: use a soft microfiber cloth, dry or very lightly dampened for stubborn marks. Avoid ammonia-based cleaning sprays which could tarnish certain finishes. For the fluted aluminum base: a dry soft cloth is sufficient for regular dusting. For colored finishes (Bronze, Red), avoid abrasive cloths that could scratch the lacquer. Handle the shade with care when unpacking and when replacing the bulb.
