Born in Milan in 1918 Achille Castiglioni studied architecture at the Polytechnic University Milan and set up a design office in 1944 with his brothers, Livio Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni (Livio left in 1952) which would become one of the most witty, elegant and innovative partnerships in modern design.
They worked from the viewpoint that design must restructure an object's function, form and production process, and applied this maxim to every work that they produced. Castiglioni described this process: "Start from scratch. Stick to common sense. Know your goals and means."
