1960's Goldkant Cocoon Pendant Lamp
About the Item
This rare and extravagant 1960s cocoon pendant light is in very good condition and given its age shows very little sings of use.
The Coccon has a body diameter of about 56 cm and height of 30 cm and gives a beautiful diffused warm light. The beautiful pearl/silk patina is an indication the the lamp was in a NON SMOKING Environment.
Nota Bene: There are no tears or holes. Not uncommon for these cocoon lamps the frame is slightly rusty on some top points but barely visible (please refer to photos for details).
Often attributed and very close to the designs of Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. In fact this cocoon was manufactured in Germany by Goldkant Leuchten in the late 50's and early 60s . Designer Fritz Wauer was credited by FLOS for devising the technology of spraying the self wrapping foam onto metal frames - similar to silk worms constructing their cocoon. This innovation this was later brought to the established Italian FLOS Designers like Carlo & Tobia Scarpa, Dino Gavina and of course to Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. This makes these Goldkant models the original predecessor to later cocoon lamps such as the Taraxacum S by FLOS.
We think it would fit well with any Mid-Century Modern, modernist or indeed minimalist interior setting.
Please note, while we tested the lamp and know it to be working (as documented in the pictures) we cannot guarantee that this lamp meets the standards and regulations in your country. We recommend that a certified professional is consulted when installing any lamp.
