Spyder X
Made by Henge
Designed by Massimo Castagna
Massimo Castagna conceived the Spyder X as a suspended composition, one where borosilicate glass elements radiate outward from a central armature with the quiet authority of a structural drawing. It occupies space the way a piece of architecture does: deliberately, with every angle considered.
Borosilicate glass is central to the piece's identity. Its exceptional clarity and thermal stability set it apart from conventional lamp materials, allowing light to pass through with a purity that shifts subtly across the day. The supporting armature is finished with the precision Henge brings to all of its work, where material and construction are inseparable from the design itself.
- Borosilicate glass elements in a radiating sculptural configuration
- Available in multiple finishes
- Made to order, with custom configurations for residential and contract environments
- Designed by Massimo Castagna for Henge
Castagna's practice consistently refuses the boundary between object and installation. The Spyder X sits at that edge, casting light that is as much about form and atmosphere as it is about illumination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is borosilicate glass and why is it used in lighting?
Borosilicate glass is a high-performance glass formulated with boron trioxide, which gives it exceptional clarity, low thermal expansion, and strong resistance to heat. In pendant lighting, these properties allow the material to perform reliably over time while maintaining optical purity that diffuses or transmits light with minimal distortion.
Can the Spyder X be customized in size or finish?
The Spyder X is made to order and is available in multiple configurations and finishes, allowing the piece to be specified to suit a particular interior scale or material palette. Customization details are best confirmed through a design consultation.
Who is Massimo Castagna and what defines his design approach?
Massimo Castagna is a Milan-based designer known for work that sits at the intersection of product design and architecture. His pieces for Henge consistently prioritize material integrity and structural clarity, treating objects as spatial presences rather than decorative accessories.
What interior environments suit the Spyder X best?
The Spyder X is proportioned for spaces with generous ceiling heights where its radiating composition can be read fully. Double-height entries, large open-plan living areas, and hospitality environments with strong architectural identities are well suited to the piece.
What is Henge as a brand and where are its pieces produced?
Henge is an Italian design brand founded in Milan, recognized for furniture and lighting that combines raw natural materials with refined industrial craft. All pieces are produced in Italy, with a strong emphasis on bespoke specification for high-end residential and contract projects.
