About the Item

The Cocoon ceiling lamp by Goldkant Leuchten is a masterpiece of modernist design from the 1960s and 1970s, designed by Friedel Wauer. Made of a metal frame surrounded by an innovative layer of resin resembling the structure of an insect cocoon, it emits a soft, even light. Versions with multiple light sources are perfect for central lighting, and the lamp itself, thanks to its minimalist, organic form, is a decoration for modernist, Space Age, or Scandinavian interiors. It is a true icon of the mid-century era, combining functionality with timeless aesthetics. This patented process was designed by Friedel Wauer and imitates the “self-twisting” of silkworm cocoons. Goldkant Leuchten brand Founded shortly after World War II (1946), the company producing Cocoon lamps won two iF Design Awards in 1974 for these models. It produced lamps until around 1994. lamp circumference 140 cm Cable length approx. 2 M
