Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni

A street lamp for the home. Designed in 1962, the Arco solved a practical problem: how to have overhead lighting without ceiling wiring. Its massive marble base acts as a counterweight for the sweeping steel arc, suspending the light perfectly over a dining table. It is perhaps the most iconic lamp in design history.

The glowing cat. Gatto ("cat" in Italian) sits curled up on the table, emitting a warm, diffused light. Made from the signature Flos cocoon resin sprayed over a steel frame, it has a soft, organic texture that feels alive and comforting.

Minimalism from 1954. Luminator is nothing more than a tripod and a tube with a bulb at the top. It is an exercise in reduction, stripping the floor lamp down to its absolute essentials to create an indirect uplighter of pure, unadorned function.

A beagle on marble. Designed in 1967, Snoopy is a playful tribute to the famous cartoon dog. Its snout-like reflector rests on a tilted white marble base, creating a lamp that is full of character, humor, and timeless Italian style.

A beehive of aluminum. Designed in 1961 for a Milanese beer house, the Splügen Bräu is characterized by its spun aluminum reflector. Its undulating, ribbed surface acts as a heat sink and a distinctive decorative element, directing light downwards with industrial grace.

The inverted industrial. Taccia flips the concept of a hanging factory lamp upside down. The light source is hidden in the base (originally designed to cool the bulb) and reflected upwards by a large glass bowl. It is a monumental table lamp that feels like an architectural model.

A dandelion puff in cocoon. Taraxacum uses the unique "cocoon" resin sprayed over a steel frame to create a soft, organic shape. It glows from within like a cloud, diffusing light in every direction and adding a sculptural softness to the interior.

A readymade masterpiece. Designed in 1962, Toio is a collage of industrial parts: a car headlight, a fishing rod guide, and a transformer. It is a brutalist, humorous, and incredibly effective uplighter that exposes its function with pride.

A glowing chrysalis. Viscontea is another masterpiece of the "cocoon" series. Its internal steel skeleton stretches the resin skin into a mysterious, faceted shape. It hangs in the space like a living organism, emitting a warm, diffused light that softens the room.
