Stunning and rare mid-century round cocoon pendant with a wonderful warm beige patina and a marbled finish. This stylish piece was designed by achille castiglioni and produced in italy during the 1960s. In fabulous condition and fully intact, with no tears or damage, and with a charming uniform beige patina. What makes this unique pendant especially striking is the elegant texture throughout the surface, with delicate striations in a deep amber tone. These markings contrast beautifully with the warm, uniform beige hue of the cocoon material, adding depth and dynamism while maintaining a soothing, minimalist aesthetic. When lit, the effect is simply spectacular, creating a soft, warm, and welcoming glow. The pendant comes wired and tested, compatible with both us and eu/uk standards, and uses a single e26/e27 light bulb. A unique and timeless piece, perfect for elevating an organic modern or contemporary interior with a touch of italian elegance. dimension (cm): diameter - 35 max height with cord - 150 this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
