Born in Milan in 1918, Achille Castiglioni trained at the Polytechnic of Milan. In 1944 he set up his own Como-based design office with his brothers, Livio, who left the partnership in 1952, and Pier Giacomo. Achille continued to pursue an active career right up until his death at the age of 95 in February 2003. Zeev Aram held an exhibition of Achille’s designs from his personal collection in tribute to his close friend and collaborator. Aram Store stocks many of Castiglioni’s designs, including perhaps his most iconic, the Arco Lamp.
Achille Castiglioni’s daughter Giovanna will talk about life and work of her father, who was an influential architect, designer, inventor and dreamer. Achille Castiglioni was a leading light among industrial designers of the 20th century, producing iconic furniture, lighting pieces and modernist accessories with an element of whimsy. He once said, “I see around me a professional disease of taking everything too seriously. One of my secrets is to joke all the time.” Heeeelloooooo!!! EXTREME LOVE alert people!!!
