The story
Pair of Gatto Grande first edition lamps designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos in the early 1960s. They feature their original white powder-coated metal structure, and diffuser made of cocoon resin sprayed onto the structure. Each lamp cocoon resin has an amazing light beige patina, giving a warm and cosy feeling even when lit off. They are found in an amazing condition considering their age. Both lamps are signed on the inside, and fully rewired.

About Achille Castiglioni
Italian architect and designer (1918-2002) who worked in Milan with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. Drawing on the logic of the readymade, he turned everyday components into lasting designs such as the Arco and Taccia lamps for Flos and the Mezzadro and Sella stools for Zanotta. Collectors look for early production pieces with original fittings and period markings, which reveal the wit and economy behind each object.
