About the Item

Cocoon pendant lamp. Design by Friedel Wauer. Manufactured by Goldkant Leuchten, Germany in the 1960s. A thin steel framework covered with sprayed resin, which gives a Fiberglass look. The translucent resin gives a beautiful soft light effect. A great example of mid-century modern lighting design. The ‘cocoon’ technology has been developed by the German Friedel Wauer, who discovered a mechanical way to cover a steel mesh by imitating the "self-coiling" of the silkworm. Many designers as George Nelson, Pier Achille Castiglione and Tobia Scarpa were fascinated by the light effect and the properties of the cocooning material. Nice state, a darker area and one small tear which is nearly invisible, see photographs. Comes with one light socket for E26/E27 bulbs and works with 110V and 220V.
