Item Description
A striking and highly collectible Model 4017 pendant lamp designed by Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, executed in vivid green acrylic. This sculptural pendant exemplifies the Castiglioni brothers’ rigorous yet playful approach to industrial design—where functional clarity meets formal experimentation. The translucent green acrylic shade diffuses light with a distinctive chromatic warmth, creating both atmospheric illumination and a strong graphic presence. When lit, the material reveals subtle tonal variations and depth, emphasizing the purity of its geometric form. Model 4017 reflects the designers’ broader philosophy: reducing objects to essential components while introducing unexpected materiality. The suspended acrylic volume appears almost weightless, its clean lines and balanced proportions demonstrating the Castiglioni’s mastery of visual economy. The lamp’s bold color and minimalist silhouette make it particularly suited to modernist, postmodern, or contemporary interiors. It functions equally well as a statement piece above a dining table or as a focal element in a gallery-like space. An increasingly rare example of Italian mid-century lighting design, this Model 4017 pendant is both a functional lighting instrument and a collectible work by two of the most influential figures in 20th-century design. A refined acquisition for collectors of iconic Italian design.
