During his half-century career, Castiglioni has designed over 150 objects, including lamps, stools, bookshelves, electrical switches, cameras, telephones, vacuum cleaners and car seats.

His work is marked throughout by an attention both to the timeless essentials of great design and to the changing behavior and values of modern culture.
