The Black & White lamp owes its name to the two types of light it emits. Diffused lighting is obtained by means of a white opaline glass dome containing a trio of light bulbs; the lighting directed towards horizontal surfaces is instead obtained by means of a corrugated cup in mirror-polished natural aluminium, inserted in the lower part of the diffuser, which houses a silver-capped light bulb, in order to improve reflection. The switches can be separated: the black effect is obtained by turning on only the central light bulb, the white effect with those inside the dome.
Achille Castiglioni (1918 - 2002) and Pier Giacomo (1913 - 1968) were born in Milan where they began their professional activity giving life to a design activity entirely characterized by research on "new" forms, techniques and materials, tending to the realization of an "integral" design process. Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni are among the founders of the Association for Industrial Design. Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni began their collaboration with Zanotta in 1964.
