the designer

Achille Castiglioni (1918 – 2002) and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni (1913-1968), born in Milan, were visionary designers whose work continues to inspire. Their design philosophy centered around exploring new forms, techniques, and materials, seeking an “integral” approach to design.

Both brothers studied architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan, laying the foundation for their innovative work in furniture and lighting design. Their creations have earned them five Compasso d’Oro awards and a place in prestigious museums like MoMA, showcasing their enduring influence on design.
