SYNOPSIS
Irony, self-criticism, curiosity, interest in others are some of the characteristics that make Achille Castiglioni one of the greats of Italian design, creator of icons of the twentieth century. His Arco lamp, from 1962, is to date the most famous and copied piece of furniture in the world. “It means it works!”, he said.
The documentary tells about him in his Milanese studio, surrounded by his objects and above all by a surprising amount of games collected throughout a lifetime. Castiglioni talks about himself with generosity and humor. What is surprising is his desire to critically observe reality, to find new solutions, to be surprised and to surprise us.
