His success is the direct result of years of field research, thanks to a solid <strong>technical-scientific culture<\/strong>, an empirical approach, and extraordinary curiosity. Initially collaborating with his father Livio, whom he joined in 1972 and from whom he inherited a passion for light, his decades of work in both design and product development have significantly contributed to enhancing the importance and recognition of the role of lighting designer. He has challenged many common practices and proposed concepts more aligned with contemporary dimensions, aware that light can indeed be thought of in a completely different way. More than a thousand lighting projects around the world bear Piero Castiglioni\u2019s signature. Just to mention a few: the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay, Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, the Sala dei Corazzieri in the Palazzo del Quirinale in Rome, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Spasa na Krovi in St. Petersburg, the Garibaldi Complex in Porta Nuova in Milan, the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands, the Mus\u00e9e de Bretagne \u2013 Champs Libres in Rennes, and the Op\u00e9ra Bastille in Paris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Main Recognitions<\/strong><br \/>\nAward \u201cDesign de Ambientes 98\/99<br \/>\nAward ECC Design Award (2019)<br \/>\nGrand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (2020)<br \/>\nAIDI Award Light 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3226","designer","type-designer","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stilnovo.trizerolab.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designer\/3226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stilnovo.trizerolab.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designer"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stilnovo.trizerolab.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/designer"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stilnovo.trizerolab.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
