“Pensavamo a una lampada che
proiettasse la luce sul tavolo: ce
ne erano già ma bisognava girarci
dietro. Perché lasciasse spazio
attorno al tavolo la base doveva
essere lontana almeno due metri.
Così nacque l’dea dell’arco.”
- A. Castiglioni, intervista per
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.”
