Achille Castiglioni (1918-2002), born in Milan, was a pivotal figure in Italian design alongside his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo. He studied architecture, embracing a comprehensive design approach. The trio’s innovative designs, notably the iconic Arco lamp, played a crucial role in shaping the playful intelligence synonymous with Italian design in the latter half of the 20th century. Achille co-founded the ADI in 1956 and later became a prominent educator in Artistic Design for Industry. He received 9 Compasso d’Oro awards, and his works, including 14 pieces owned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, are showcased in esteemed museums globally.

The company was founded in 1962 by Dino and Cesare Cassina in Merano, Italy. The brand started out as a laboratory for designers and architects, seeking to innovate the lighting industry. In order to retain this philosophy, the company moved to Brescia, where the new headquarters were used as a think tank for new designs and ideas. In 1963, Sergio Gandini became managing director of the firm and would prove to be a crucial personality in FLOS’ history.
It took no more than a few years for FLOS to position themselves as the most innovative and revolutionary Italian lighting brand and after numerous products became part of the Italian exhibition at Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1972, FLOS became internationally renowned.
