The Achille Castiglioni effect






















designboom has published a sneak preview of the ‘Castiglioni Effect,’ which is the title of the show that De Padova is currently preparing for design week next month. This exhibit is particularly special because the bulk of the models and drawings have never been seen before.

Take a look at the following photos, sketches, and descriptions, which are just a snippet of what’s to come during the exhibition in Milan.
