A rare set of three original Flos "Relemme" pendant lamps, designed by Achille Castiglioni, Italy, 1962 — icons of post-war Italian design from one of the most celebrated designers of the 20th century.
The Relemme is a deceptively simple design: a shallow white dome with a black leather rim, suspended on a minimal cord. It is quintessential Castiglioni — functional, refined, and quietly radical. Achille Castiglioni (1918–2002) was an Italian architect and designer whose work for Flos, Zanotta, and others defined the language of Italian mid-century design. Many of his pieces remain in production today.
The price listed is for all three pieces as a set. If you prefer one or two pieces individually, please contact us before purchasing.
