ARCO Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, 1962 Technical info p.495-496 Courtesy of Fondazione Achille Castiglioni - Photo by Studio Casali “Wir haben an eine Lampe gedacht, die das Licht auf den Tisch projizieren würde: es gab sie bereits, aber man musste um sie herum gehen. Um genügend Platz um den Tisch herum zu lassen, musste die Basis zumindest zwei Meter entfernt sein. So entstand die Idee für Arco, den Bogen.” - A. Castiglioni, Interview für Ottagono, 1970. “We were thinking about a lamp that shines light onto a table. They already existed, but you had to walk round them. To leave enough space around the table, the base had to be at least two meters away. Which was how the idea for Arco came into being.” - A. Castiglioni interviewed for Ottagono, 1970 223 FLOOR 222 ARCO
