Davide Groppi: taO by Davide Groppi

Floating light: taO combines minimalism with elegance
2/9/2026

taO is a suspended luminaire defined by radical simplicity and deliberate restraint. A slender black body appears to float in space, while its fine power cable becomes a subtle graphic line that structures the room.
Light is reduced to a pure gesture – poised between symbol and function – privileging essence over ornament. The matte surface and minimalist silhouette allow taO to integrate seamlessly into residential and contract settings alike.
Whether presented as a single statement above a table or arranged in linear repetition, taO maintains a quiet precision, shaping atmosphere through a refined interplay of light and shadow.
