Achille Castiglioni x Flos – Innovation and Design Icons
The collaboration between Achille Castiglioni and Flos revolutionized the world of lighting, creating iconic pieces that blend timeless aesthetics with technological experimentation. Castiglioni, one of the most influential Italian designers of the 20th century, redefined the concept of light with a clever and functional approach.
Founded in 1962, Flos has distinguished itself through its ability to innovate, introducing cutting-edge materials such as Cocoon, a sprayed resin that creates lightweight, enveloping shapes. This experimentation led to masterpieces like Viscontea, Taraxacum, and Gatto, lamps with an organic design and a soft, diffused glow that became symbols of Italian modernism.
Beyond the renowned Cocoon creations, this collaboration also gave rise to design icons such as the Arco, Taccia, and Parentesi lamps, perfect examples of functional and groundbreaking design. Each piece from the Castiglioni x Flos partnership is a tribute to creativity, research, and the timeless elegance of Made in Italy design.
