Experimental material from aviation

The Cocoon material used in the Gatto luminaire originally comes from the aerospace industry, where it was used to protect equipment from corrosion. However, Italian designer Arturo Eisenkeil introduced this technical material to European designers as a completely new way of creating diffusers. The result is a gently diffused light and an organic look that varies from piece to piece, giving each lamp a unique character.

Design with a poetic atmosphere

In contrast to the strictly functionalist lamps of the time, Gatto is characterised by soft contours and an ethereal impression, making it look more like a sculpture than a conventional light. It is this combination of technical experimentation and poetics of light that has made Gatto lighting timeless classic that is now part of the collections of many of the world's design museums.

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.
