No. 2 Achille Castiglioni

Achille Castiglioni was a renowned industrial designer, often inspired by everyday things and made use of ordinary materials. He uses the minimal amount of materials while creating forms with a maximum effect.


I have decided to start, with this designer because I have already researched a lot of his work in the past, and always found him encouraging. That is why, usually when I am given an assignment I always find it very difficult to inspire myself from things. Reading about such designers with this experience, helps me to look at every day things which can be inspiring.
