An iconic piece of Italian design in a very limited edition

Designed in collaboration with Marcello Minale for the Wimpy restaurant in Rome, the Desco is one of the most sought-after pieces of post-war Italian design: the fiberglass top with integrated stainless steel plate and the chromed base create an object of extraordinary modernity that anticipates contemporary design.

Italian industrial design

Achille Castiglioni (1918�2002) is universally recognized as one of the greatest designers of the 20th century. Born in Milan, he graduated in architecture from the Polytechnic in 1944 and worked with brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo, designing icons such as the Arco lamp (1962) and the Mezzadro stool (1957). His empirical approach always began with the observation of human behavior. He won eight Compasso d'Oro awards and his works are exhibited at the MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Triennale in Milan.
