About the Item
Stunning atmospheric tripod Cocoon floorlamp. Elegant, timeless and it blends with lost of interior styles. It's in a very good condition, both chrome and lampshade. Designer Friedel Wauer, was a pioneering German lampshade manufacturer and designer, widely recognized as the "grandfather of cocoon lamps".
Company: Wauer founded the company Goldkant-Leuchten (initially named Cocoon-Leuchten International) in Germany in 1946. The company operated until 1994.
Innovation: He is credited by peers and the Italian lighting company FLOS with developing a groundbreaking technique in 1952 for applying a specialized synthetic polymer spray onto a metal wireframe to create lampshades. This process was inspired by a silk worm's "self-wrapping" and the material itself was originally developed for "mothballing" naval ships.
Design Legacy: Wauer's innovative approach led to over 400 foundational models in approximately 1,000 variations, ranging from modern to traditional designs.
Influence: While George Nelson used a similar technique earlier (1947), Wauer is considered a key figure in popularizing the style in Europe. In the late 1950s, the technique was brought to Italy, leading to the creation of the Flos company and iconic designs by the Castiglioni brothers and others, all leveraging Wauer's pioneering material application technology.
Wauer's work is a significant part of Mid-Century Modern design, celebrated for its creation of soft, diffuse, and atmospheric light
