"During the postwar years a new kind of self-skinning spray-on plastic known as "Cocoon" was developed in the United States for the mothballing of naval vessels. This led to Castiglioni brother designing their series of Cocoon lights, issued by Flos." We take pride in bringing vintage fixtures to their full glory again. At Illustris Lighting our main focus is to deliver lighting fixtures to our clients in ready to install condition. Every item in our collection goes through strict condition inspection and receives careful restoration if it’s needed. We work with highly skilled restorers, the very best in the business.
