Goldkant Leuchten Wuppertal cocoon lamp / ceiling light.

Dimensions: H: 12 cm, D: 55 cm Material: cocoon material The use of the cocooning raw material is not new and is a technology developed more than 50 years ago by the German Friedel Wauer, who discovered a mechanical way, a to cover steel mesh by imitating the "self-coiling" of the silkworm. Designers such as George Nelson, Pier Giacomo Castilgone, Tobia Scarpa and most recently Marcel Wanders were fascinated by the properties of the cocooning material and created outstanding design icons. On the one hand, the two design groups of this presentation were concerned with exploring the aesthetic values of the material in the sense of “enveloping” and “shrinking”… the cocooning of light, so to speak. In addition, the aim was to explore other simple geometric wire structures that would set new standards for the outstanding light-blurring properties of the cocooning material.
