N2  - Achille Castiglioni (1918 - 2002) was one of the most important and prolific designers of the twentieth century. This comprehensive monograph is the only detailed study of his remarkable career and includes a catalogue of his complete works from 1938 - 2000 spanning architecture and exhibition, interior and product design. An essay by Sergio Polano describes Castiglioni's important collaborations with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo and discusses his diverse range of projects including the spatial design work that dominated his early career as well as his later, better known product designs. Castiglioni's work is celebrated for its combination of technical innovation with an aesthetically-pleasing form, as demonstrated in his elegant Luminator floor lamp for Gilardi & Barzaghi (1955) and the distinctive Frisbi hanging light for Flos (1978). His designs also demonstrated wit - the 'readymade' furniture designs created with Pier Giacomo in 1957 incorporated tractor and bicycle seats into new stools. He created hundreds of pieces of furniture, lighting and products for a distinguished client list including Kartell, Knoll, Zanotta, Alessi and Siemens. With more than 800 photographs and drawings, this monograph does full justice to his designs, which won eight prestigious Compasso d'Oro prizes; Achille Castiglioni (1918 - 2002) fue uno de los diseñadores más importantes y prolíficos del siglo XX. Esta completa monografía es el único estudio detallado de su notable carrera e incluye un catálogo de sus obras completas de 1938 a 2000 que abarcan arquitectura y exposición, interiorismo y diseño de productos. Un ensayo de Sergio Polano describe las importantes colaboraciones de Castiglioni con sus hermanos Livio y Pier Giacomo y analiza su diversa gama de proyectos, incluido el trabajo de diseño espacial que dominó su carrera temprana, así como sus diseños de productos más recientes y mejor conocidos. El trabajo de Castiglioni se celebra por su combinación de innovación técnica con una forma estéticamente agradable, como lo demuestra su elegante lámpara de pie Luminator para Gilardi & Barzaghi (1955) y la distintiva lámpara colgante Frisbi para Flos (1978). Sus diseños también demostraron su ingenio: los diseños de muebles 'listos' creados con Pier Giacomo en 1957 incorporaron asientos de tractor y bicicleta en nuevos taburetes. Creó cientos de muebles, iluminación y productos para una distinguida lista de clientes, incluyendo Kartell, Knoll, Zanotta, Alessi y Siemens. Con más de 800 fotografías y dibujos, esta monografía hace justicia a sus diseños, que ganaron ocho prestigiosos premios Compasso d'Oro.
