Ottanio Opendoor had the great pleasure of welcoming Giovanna Castiglioni, daughter of the legendary designer Achille Castiglioni.

​

Known worldwide for his groundbreaking work in industrial design, Achille Castiglioni’s innovative spirit and timeless creations have left an indelible mark on the design world.

Giovanna shared personal insights and stories that brought to life the legacy of a man whose vision continues to inspire generations.

​

With warmth and generosity, Giovanna shared an intimate look into her father’s world, bringing with her a selection of his iconic objects, personal anecdotes, and the inspirations behind his timeless designs.

​

With passion and irony, she engaged the guests through personal stories and the subtle inspirations that gave life to his timeless designs.

​

Through her stories, we gained a deeper understanding of Achille Castiglioni’s creative process, his curiosity, his humor, and the way he observed everyday life with a designer’s eye. It was a rare opportunity to step into the mind of one of Italy’s most influential designers, and we are deeply grateful to Giovanna for making it possible.

After Giovanna’s intimate and captivating story, the evening continued with a moment dedicated to taste: the Tommasi winery presented its Amarone della Valpolicella in an exclusive preview. A wine that tells a story of its own, iconic and elegant, offering guests a truly sensorial experience, where culture and flavor intertwined in perfect harmony.
