Most of their designs came to life transforming an ordinary everyday object into a design project. With their exceptional sensitivity and curiosity, Achille and Pier Giacomo were able to identify the unique features within an object and then to design amazing products with great attention to details and functionality first, and then to aesthetics. Looking at their portfolio, one fact is clear: their designs were never ordinary or trivial. Their main interest was analyzing the functioning of objects, how people use them and interact with them and then translating this interplay in a formal language.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">\u201c<i>If you\u2019re not curious, forget about it.

Here\u2019s another quite famous quote: \u201c<i>My method is to take out again and over again, until I will find the main design component: a minimum sign or a minimum shape required by the function. I want to get to say: less than this, I can\u2019t do it.<\/i>\u201d The Castiglioni brothers always strove for minimalism, but not as a mere stylistic choice, a way for their \u201cbrand\u201d to be recognized, but as the only method for optimizing the functionality of objects and making them timeless and unique. According to their philosophy, form is the result of a process aimed at ensuring the best possible functionality of an object and satisfying the needs of its users.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-a92f5ae elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a92f5ae\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e09e62\" data-id=\"8e09e62\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-251e7bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"251e7bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.4px\">\u00ab<\/span>Design shouldn\u2019t be trendy.
