Oblong Cocoon Pendant by Lamp Friedel Wauer for Goldkant Leuchten, 1960s
Cocoon pendant lamp, 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, a darker area and one small tear which is nearly invisible, see photographs.
Comes with one light socket for E26/E27 bulbs.
Diameter 18cm, height 36cm
