Toio is constructed from a series of visible industrial components assembled into a new functional object rather than concealed behind a conventional decorative form.
Its vertical metal structure supports an exposed light source, while electrical cables and mechanical connections remain intentionally visible.
The lamp reflects the Castiglioni brothers’ fascination with found objects, technical components and the possibility of giving existing elements an entirely new meaning through design.
