“Nous réfléchissions à une lampe
qui éclairerait la table. Il en existait
déjà mais il fallait les contourner.
Pour laisser suffisamment d’espace
autour de la table, il fallait
que la base soit éloignée d’au moins
deux mètres. C’est comme ça
qu’est née l’idée de l’Arco.” - A.
Castiglioni, interview pour
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.”
- A. Castiglioni interviewed
for Ottagono, 1970
