From design to product
In designing Joy, Castiglioni realized the idea of technological and formal annihilation. Joy is a “neutral” object with a multiple role, the possible archetype of a new category. Joy’s peculiarity lies in the movement of rotating shelves realized with extreme simplicity: some horizontal shelves rotate freely around a vertical articulated column made of steel tubes. Joy is an “invention object” by one of the most influential masters of Italian Design.
