Description
In the 1960's, Pierre and Achille Castiglione designed this pendant lamp that still looks crisp and modern today. It was brought to market by Italian manufacturer Flos, under the name Relemme.
The lamp is made in white, fully made of metal. The round lamp shade is suspended with a heavy counterweight that lets you adjust the height at which it hangs. That way you can vary the height of the lamp between (approximately 50 and 90 cm below the ceiling. The lamp is mounted with a square metal box that consists of a ceiling plate, plus a box that contains the wiring. Very sturdy and elegant construction Both the lamp shade (sticker) and the ceiling canopy (stamp) are marked.
The lamp has a black rubber ring around the edge of the lamp shade, this ring shows small age-related cracks, but is still perfectly useable. It uses a regular E27 light bulb, 60W max (or LED) and 110V or 220V. Also works really well with a mirror bulb.
About the designers:
Achille Castiglioni (1918 - 2002), the only Italian architect and designer to whom the MoMA in New York has so far dedicated a retrospective. He completed his studies at the Milan Polytechnic in 1944. He was an all-round designer, involved in urban planning, architecture, exhibitions, exhibitions, and product design projects. In 1956 he helped found the Italian Association of Industrial Design (ADI). In the years 1952-1953 he worked on the reconstruction of the Palazzo della Permanente in Milan. Between 1955 and 1979 he won seven Compasso d'Oro awards, the last one for the Parentesi lamp designed with Pio Manzù. He was awarded multiple awards at the Triennale: Bronze Medal in 1947, Grand Prix in 1951 and 1954, Silver and Gold Medal in 1957, Gold Medal in 1960 and Silver again in 1963. From 1971 he began his career as a professor at the Faculty of Architecture of the Polytechnic of Turin. His signature in the modern antiques, together with that of his brother Pier Giacomo, can be found on various production objects for many brands, such as Kartell, Zanotta, Flos, Bernini, Siemens, Knoll, Poggi, Lancia, Alessi, Ideal Standard, Arflex.
