Crafted from delicate Cocoon material, its flowing, organic form evokes a UFO-like silhouette, balancing elegance and imagination in a way only the Castiglioni brothers could achieve. The lamp’s design is mesmerizing: soft arches rise at the base, giving way to a radiating crown of gently curved bulges in the center, with the upper section echoing the lower to create a perfect, harmonious composition. Measuring 52 cm (20.5 in) in diameter and 22.5 cm (8.9 in) in height, extended to 30 cm (11.8 in) with its tulip-style white plastic base, it emits a warm, inviting glow, transforming any space into an intimate, elegant setting. Its sculptural silhouette makes it as much an art object as a functional lamp—ideal for collectors, design connoisseurs, and interiors that demand distinction. The lamp shows authentic, age-appropriate wear and minor imperfections, which add character and underscore its provenance as a genuine vintage design piece. Owning this lamp means owning a piece of design history: a rare, highly collectible work that captures the timeless vision and artistry of the Castiglioni brothers. A statement piece that radiates both light and legacy.
