Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos Cocoon Pendant Light

Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni are renowned Italian designers known for their innovative and functional designs, particularly in lighting. One of their standout creations is the Cocoon Pendant lamp, which exemplifies mid-century modern design aesthetics.
The Cocoon series was introduced in the 1960s, during a period when the Castiglioni brothers were exploring innovative materials and pushing the boundaries of industrial design. This lamp has since become an iconic piece, often featured in museums and collections worldwide.
The lamp is crafted using a cocoon-like material made of resin, sprayed over a steel wire frame. This material, initially developed during WWII, gives the lamp a soft, diffused glow. The organic, sculptural shape of the lamp is reminiscent of natural forms, blending functionality with artistic expression. The cocoon material allows for a warm, even diffusion of light, creating a cozy ambiance in the room.
