About the Item

Tall Cocoon pendant lamp in a kind of Diabolo form. 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. One older repair at the bottom of the lamp, not visible except when looking from below the lamp. Comes with one light socket for E26/E27 bulbs and works with 110V and 220V.
