Designer: Ingo Maurer. Hot Achille is an homage to the work of Achille Castiglioni. In particular, it is a celebration of his Parentesi lamp of 1971, which ran from floor to ceiling and was kept taut by a counter-weight. Hot Achille consists of a freely rotatable aluminum reflector hung on a length of adjustable cable and powered by a counter-weight and electronic transformer with a continuously variable dimmer. Ingo Maurer not only concentrates on the functional nature of light but also the quality of light within a given space.

Stainless steel, aluminum reflector with protective glass cover, coaxial cable. Electronic transformer, 125 volts, black, with a push button on/off switch. For ceilings up to a height of 118.11" or 137.8". The height of the lamp can be modified within a limited range, and the reflector is freely rotatable. An adjustable weight ensures that the coaxial cable remains taut. Complete with bulb.
