About the Item

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. The ceiling light comes with three sockets. Nice state, light corrosion effects at the outside, not really visible when the lamp is placed. Diameter 55cm, height 14cm The Cocoon Ceiling Lamp, designed by Friedel Wauer for Goldkant Leuchten in Germany in the 1960s, is a significant example of lighting design from that era. The history of Cocoon lamps is intertwined with the post-war revival of design and innovations in lighting. In the 1960s, the German company Goldkant Leuchten was one of the leading manufacturers of modern luminaires, and Cocoon lamps were among their most recognizable products. Cocoon lamps were made from a special material resembling a silkworm cocoon, hence their name. This material provided even and soft light diffusion, making these fixtures not only functional but also stylish interior elements. The design of Cocoon lamps was first introduced to the market in the 1960s and immediately attracted significant interest from buyers due to their unique aesthetics and innovative use of materials.
