Inspiration from the Splügen Bräu

The Splügen Bräu luminaire was originally designed in 1961 specifically for the eponymous Milanese beer hall Splügen Bräu. Designers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni were inspired by the industrial environment and the need to create functional yet aesthetic lighting. The result is a light with a simple but sophisticated form that has become an icon of modern design.

The timeless elegance of aluminium

The polished aluminium reflector protected by a transparent lacquer not only reflects light with maximum intensity, but also adds a sophisticated metallic shine to the space. This material guarantees long life and easy maintenance, while its shape and finish ensure that Splügen Bräu looks modern even more than sixty years after its creation.

Designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni

Achille Castiglioni (1918-2002) and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni (1913-1968) were important Italian designers and architects who made an indelible mark on the history of modern design. Together they created dozens of iconic products that are characterized by their ingenuity, functionality and aesthetics. Their collaboration began after Achille joined the studio that Pier Giacomo ran with his older brother Livio in 1944. After Livio left in 1952, Achille and Pier Giacomo formed an inseparable team until Pier Giacomo's death in 1968. Among their most famous creations is the Arco light, which is still in production today and has become a symbol of the design intelligence of post-war Italy.
