LIBRERIA PENSILE

Seeking to pare down the structure of a bookcase to the absolute minimum, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni decided to mount four shelves in two wires and fix them in a single point on the wall.

 

Originally conceived in 1957, the design was perfected over the years until presented to the public in 1966. 50 years on, Libreria Pensile is still relevant, elegant, and very Castiglioni.

I CONTEMPORANEI

Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni

ACHILLE CASTIGLIONI
"I have always desired to do the opposite. Not because I have an anarchic behaviour, but because I think the fundamental basis of design consists in thinking the opposite". Renowned Italian designer Achille Castiglioni (1918-2002) had a passion for re-designing, re-inventing and re-conceptualizing. 
 
PIER GIACOMO CASTIGLIONI
From 1911 to 1918, Italian sculptor Giannino Castiglioni and Livia Bolla had three children: Livio (born 1911), Pier Giacomo (born 1913) and Achille (born 1918). The three boys would grow up to be some of Italy's most prominent architects and designers, honoured as pioneers of Italian design.
All three Castiglioni brothers were interested in technology and art, and they studied architecture at Milan Polytechnic.
