Stilnovo - Ups and Downs

The Saliscendi pendant lamp, designed in 1957 by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Stilnovo, is an example of practical and functional design. Its name comes from the counterweight system that allows the height of the lamp to be adjusted with ease, adapting the light to different spatial needs. Characterized by a simple and clean lampshade, the Saliscendi embodies the innovative approach of the Castiglioni brothers, who aimed to create useful and intelligent objects. This lamp, with its essential and versatile design, has become a classic of Italian design of the 1950s.
