Architect & designer
Achille Castiglioni
Italian designer of the Arco lamp, who built objects out of parts found in other industries.
Achille Castiglioni was an Italian architect and designer. He is known for his furniture, lighting, radiograms and other objects, many of which are considered icons of post-war Italian design. As a professor of design, he advised his students "If you are not curious, forget it. If you are not interested in others, what they do and how they act, then being a designer is not the right job for you."
