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.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
