Product description
Here is an iconic Pendant lamp designed by the brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for the Italian manufacturer Flos. This luminaire is part of the « Cocoon » series, a collection that marked design history with its innovative approach to materials and form. The lamp's organic and sculptural silhouette is immediately recognizable, offering a presence that is both soft and significant.
The lamp is manufactured using a revolutionary technique developed in the 1960s, consisting of spraying a polymer resin onto an internal steel structure. This method creates a unique, cocoon-like diffuser that envelops the light source. The lampshade color is off-white or cream, which, when lit, diffuses a warm, ambient light, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
This piece is in very good overall condition, retaining the character and integrity of its original design. The resin surface has developed a subtle and uniform patina that testifies to its history, without altering its translucent beauty. The internal structure is solid and the lamp is fully functional, ready to be installed.
Thanks to its timeless design and diffuse light, this Pendant lamp fits perfectly above a dining table, in a living room, or a bedroom. It complements both modern interiors and Mid-Century or Scandinavian-inspired decors, adding a touch of Italian design history.
No scratches or cracks, only traces due to time and use.
