Studio Museo Achille Castiglioni

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:06:05

Architect, designer and teacher Achille Castiglioni was one of Italy’s most influential 20th-century thinkers. This is the studio where he worked daily until his death in 2002, and the hour-long tours vividly illuminate his intelligent but playful creative process. Details abound and await discovery: job folders printed with specially produced numerical stamps; scale models of his Hilly sofa designed for Cassina; and a host of inspirational objects from joke glasses to bicycle seats.
