Pair of Castiglioni Gatto Grande first edition lamps 1960s

Pair of gatto grande first edition lamps designed by achille and pier giacomo castiglioni for flos in the early 1960s. They feature their painted metal structure and their cocoon resin diffuser sprayed onto the structure itself. Each cocoon resin lamp has a superb light beige patina, providing a warm presence even when turned off. They are in superb condition considering their age. Both lamps are signed on the inside and fully re-electrified. Reference: giuliana gramigna - repertorio del design italiano 1950-2000 - per l'arredamento domestico - volume 1 - page 84.
