Brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni together created numerous 20th century design icons. The two brothers were particularly successful with the lighting they designed for Arredoluce, Flos, and Artemide. They playfully explored new possibilities for form, linking technical innovation and Minimalist economy of means to produce highly functional objects which were just as aesthetically satisfying as they were practical. In 1955 the Castiglionis designed 'Luminator' for Arredoluce; their 'Taraxacum' hanging lamp dates from 1960 and the hanging lamp 'Splügen Bräu' for Flos was launched in 1961. Another Castiglioni design for Flos was the 1962 lamp 'Arco', which links the qualities of floor and hanging lamps. The Castiglioni brothers exerted a strong influence on the younger generation of Italian designers.
