Cocoon star flush mount wall ceiling light Friedel Wauer Goldkant leuchten

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. The ceiling light comes with two light sockets. Nice state, light corrosion effects at the outside, not really visible when the lamp is placed. Diameter 55cm, height 14cm.
