Spectre
Made by Henge
Designed by Massimo Castagna
Massimo Castagna conceived the Spectre as an exercise in controlled tension, a composition of metal and glass that reads more as architecture than furniture. The vertical and horizontal members resolve with the kind of exactness that rewards close attention, while the overall silhouette maintains a quiet, almost weightless presence.
Its modular logic allows each configuration to feel considered rather than assembled. Proportions lend structure to a room without imposing weight, making the Spectre equally at home anchoring a private library or articulating an open-plan interior.
- Modular system adaptable across configurations and scales

- Designed and produced by Henge, Milan
Henge, the Milan-based atelier founded by Castagna, approaches every object as a dialogue between industrial precision and artisanal sensibility. The Spectre embodies that ethos in full, a piece that earns its place through proportion and restraint rather than gesture or ornament.
