Designed in 1998, the Diabolo perfectly illustrates Castiglioni's approach: transforming an everyday object into a playful, intelligent, and visually striking piece. Inspired by the famous diabolo game, this pendant light plays on balance and movement thanks to its ingenious integrated vertical adjustment system, allowing the height to be adjusted from 95 to 210 cm.

The Diabolo suspension is a perfect example: its shape derived from the eponymous game, its integrated adjustment system, its visual lightness despite a strong presence — all elegant solutions to concrete usage problems. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
