Sculpture

Achille Castiglioni was an Italian architect and designer. He is known for his furniture, lighting, radiograms and other objects, many of which are considered icons of post-war Italian design. As a professor of design, he advised his students "If you are not curious, forget it. If you are not interested in others, what they do and how they act, then being a designer is not the right job for you."
