Pair of "Cocoon" wall lights in resin and pine, Italy, circa 1970

Beautiful pair of "cocoon" wall lights, Italy, 1970s. Each sconce showcases masterful hand-applied resin threads over a metal frame, creating the iconic cocoon effect — an innovative adaptation of vintage military camouflage technique into organic design. The sculptural forms cast a soft, textured glow. Fully functional with checked electrics; gold mounts have been changed. A striking mid-century organic statement piece.
