Gatto table lamp was designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for the Italian lighting brand Flos in 1960. An Italian word for a cat, Gatto is made of a steel frame sprayed with a unique resin that gives the lamp its curvy cocoon and playful silhouette. The thin, slightly transparent material of the diffuser filters the light in a soft and smooth way. Gatto is a lovable example of the modernist style of the 1960s, and it creates a fresh and timeless atmosphere also in contemporary interiors.
