AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cocoon Création Cazal chandelier
Sphere pendant lamp made of cocoon and decorated with specks of multicolored paint in a pop art style.
The cocoon is an interesting material that was exported to Italy in the 1960s.
It is a plastic material that is sprayed, forming silk-like filaments that, when layered, create a cocoon-like mass.
Flos, a company born to produce chandeliers with this technique, attributes the discovery to the German company "Goldkant Leuchten" founded in 1946.
The material and the technique were then exported to Italy in the late 1950s by Arturo Eisenkeil of Merano.
Eisenkeil, together with Dino Gavina, the Castiglioni brothers, Ignazio Gardella and other very important manufacturers, created Flos in the 1960s.
This playful chandelier was produced in the 1970s and is in good, well-preserved condition.
It presents two very small cuts of about 1 cm but professionally glued and not visible even when lit; one is on the blue line; there are close-up photos.
The cocoon does not show yellowing; the original electrical system remains.
