Large Cocoon Flush ceiling light, Friedel Wauer for Goldkant Leuchten, 1960s
About the Item
Cocoon lamp, design by Friedel Wauer. Manufactured by Goldkant Leuchten, Germany in the 1960s.
A thin steel framework covered with sprayed resin gives a Fiberglass look. The translucent resin gives a beautiful soft light effect. The central fixing element is made of solid walnut.
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 three light sockets for E14 bulbs. These E14 bulb sockets need an E14 to E12 adapter to be used with candelabra bulbs. This adapter has just to be screwed into the original socket to use E12 bulbs. The adapter can be easily ordered on commercial platforms.
Works with 110v and 220v.
