1960s Italian Cocoon Table Lamp, Castiglioni Style with cream base
Italy, 1960s
This classic 1960s Italian cocoon table lamp exemplifies the revolutionary spray-resin technique that transformed mid-century lighting design. Attributed to the style of Achille Castiglioni, whose iconic cocoon designs for Flos became synonymous with Italian modernism, this table lamp features the distinctive cream-colored resin coating over a metal frame structure that creates soft, diffused illumination.
Good vintage condition with cocoon shade intact. Cream base structurally sound with period-appropriate patina. Original EU plug present—lamp is currently untested but we can check functionality and change plug to Australian standard if requested. Minor aging consistent with 60-year-old lighting. Natural resin shows typical honey-toned patina development. Professional electrical inspection recommended before regular use, as with all vintage lighting.
