Description from the seller
Fascinating original vintage pendant lamp from the 1960s, a true iconic piece of Space Age / Mid-Century Modern style. The lamp is characterized by the famous sprayed polymer resin coating ("Cocoon") stretched over a ribbed metal framework, which creates a warm, diffused, atmospheric light. In terms of form and craftsmanship, this model recalls the celebrated Italian productions by Flos (in the style of Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni) and the contemporaneous German realizations by Goldkant Leuchten.
The lamp presents a spectacular stage presence thanks to its generous spherical shape.
Details and Dimensions:
* Type: Pendant lamp / Chandelier
* Estimated period: 1960s
* Materials: Polymer resin (Cocoon), internal metal framework
* Circumference: 180 cm (Diameter of about 60 cm)
Conditions of the item:
The item is functional and has been recently updated from a safety standpoint:
* New electrical system: The wiring, the lampholder (E27 fitting) and the suspension cable have been completely replaced and are ready for safe installation.
* Structural conservation status: The lampshade features the classic and splendid amber patina with vintage charm. As visible in the close-up photos, it shows light and normal signs of wear and 3 micro-holes on the resin surface, which do not compromise either the solidity of the structure or the overall aesthetic effect once hung.
A piece of great atmosphere and design, ideal for enriching modern, retro or eclectic interiors.
Please look carefully at the photo gallery, which is an integral part of the description, to assess the real condition of the item.
