Collection Story
Designers
Flos credits Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni with boundless curiosity, a commitment to functionality and playful ingenuity, and says their work was pivotal in shaping Italian design.
Lamps
Toio (1962, brothers), Gatto (1960, brothers) and Parentesi (1971, Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù), as dated on their Flos pages.
Note
Two of the three pages carry the same designer statement; the Flos pages date each lamp separately.
