Viscontea cocoon pendant lamp F.lli Castiglioni, FLOS 1960s
A timeless piece of Italian design, the Viscontea pendant lamp was designed in 1960 by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos. This masterpiece is one of the earliest experiments with the "cocoon" material, a plastic resin sprayed over a metal frame, giving the lamp its organic and enveloping shape.
The piece for sale is the largest version and is in excellent original condition, preserving its authentic charm and the warm patina of time. The electrical system has been revised to meet European standards, ensuring safety and functionality without compromising the historical integrity of the piece. With its soft, diffused light, Viscontea creates a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere, making it a perfect fit for modern interiors or vintage-inspired spaces.
A must-have for collectors and design enthusiasts, this lamp is a symbol of 1960s Italian creativity, still sought after today for its timeless elegance.

Achille Castiglioni x Flos – Innovation and Design Icons
The collaboration between Achille Castiglioni and Flos revolutionized the world of lighting, creating iconic pieces that blend timeless aesthetics with technological experimentation. Castiglioni, one of the most influential Italian designers of the 20th century, redefined the concept of light with a clever and functional approach.
Founded in 1962, Flos has distinguished itself through its ability to innovate, introducing cutting-edge materials such as Cocoon, a sprayed resin that creates lightweight, enveloping shapes. This experimentation led to masterpieces like Viscontea, Taraxacum, and Gatto, lamps with an organic design and a soft, diffused glow that became symbols of Italian modernism.
Beyond the renowned Cocoon creations, this collaboration also gave rise to design icons such as the Arco, Taccia, and Parentesi lamps, perfect examples of functional and groundbreaking design. Each piece from the Castiglioni x Flos partnership is a tribute to creativity, research, and the timeless elegance of Made in Italy design.
