Suspension Black and White Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos 19

Suspension Black and White Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos 1965. Selling the Black and White suspension, designed by the brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for the iconic Milanese brand Flos, an original creation from 1965. The Black and White derives its name from its unique dual luminous philosophy: an opal glass dome diffuses a soft, enveloping light thanks to three internal bulbs, while a polished mirror aluminium lower reflector concentrates a beam directed downwards with a fourth bulb featuring a silver cap. Two distinct lighting regimes, two radically different atmospheres, one object of absolute formal coherence — this is precisely the genius of the Castiglioni.
