Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni Luminator
Like Marcel Duchamp, the Castiglioni brothers used ready-made objects to create whimsical, strange and beautiful objects. Luminator by Flos,  is magnificent.

Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni 1954
 It is industrial and sparse, delicate and insect like (praying mantas). Like sculpture, it provoke a response from the viewer.  It refuses to  sit quietly. Italian mid-century design seems to have a passion, or an enthusiasm, that life, and design, is best lived LARGE, and with a sense of humour. NO HOLDS BARRED.
