The Diabolo pendant lamp is Achille Castiglioni's design for the Italian lighting brand Flos. Consisting of two aluminium cones, Diabolo was inspired by one of the designer's favourite pastimes: a juggling prop of the same name that is spun using a string attached to two wands. The Diabolo pendant lamp by Flos delights with several modes of use, as the position of the lower cone can be adjusted using the cable reel concealed within the upper cone. Launched in 1998, Diabolo was Achille Castiglioni's final creation in a line of several innovative collaborations with Flos.
