A suspension lamp projecting direct light for focused applications
taO by Davide Groppi redefines the suspension lamp as a precise architectural instrument. Designed to project direct light exactly where it is needed, it liberates the source from the fixed power point, enabling off-centred installations and dynamic compositions that adapt to diverse spatial requirements.

Its independently tensioned steel suspension and power cables allow accurate positioning in space, achieving a refined balance between visual lightness and structural clarity. Finished in matte black and customisable on request, taO integrates an LED module compatible with filters, glare shields, and optical elements—offering meticulous control over beam shape and visual comfort.

taO is a pendant that transforms light into a deliberate, scenographic gesture.
