INCONTROLUCE
For once, we switch off the light to illuminate, and switch it on to tell a story.

taO
taO is a suspended black body that is free to exist wherever you wish.
Challenging gravity, it seems to float, deconstructing the visual balance of its weight. The thin power cable becomes a graphic feature that crosses space lightly, an instrument that becomes an idea. Once again, an exercise of absence and essence. A gesture that reduces light to its most abstract dimension, between symbology and function.

About

It all started in a small laboratory in the historical centre of the Italian town of Piacenza during the late 1980’s. Davide Groppi was inventing and producing his first lamps and decided simply to use his own name for the name of the company.
