Castiglioni, Archille
Born in Milan in 1918, Achille Castiglioni trained at the Polytechnic of Milan. In 1944 he set up his own Corno-based design office with his brothers, Livio, who left the partnership in 1952, and Pier Giacomo. In 1956 he became a founder of the Associazone per il Disegno Industriale. In 1957, the brothers held an exhibition entitled “Forme e Colori nella Casa D’Oggi” at the Olmo villa, Como, which incorporated their highly influential “ready-made” designs. Since 1969, he has taught industrial design at the Polytechnic of Turin and has exhibited at every Milan Triennale since 1947. He has received seven Compasso d’Oro awards and was highly involved in the founding of the Italian A.D.I. awards.um
