An exceptional example of the iconic 'Viscontea' suspension light designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos, c.1970s.
This sculptural piece features a geometric steel wire frame sprayed with a cocoon polymer resin skin, a technique pioneered by Flos in the early 1960s. Over the decades the resin has developed a subtle patina that modern reissues cannot replicate. Rare to find in such excellent original condition, the skin remains taut and free from tears or punctures, diffusing a soft, atmospheric light. Complete with its original ceiling rose canopy.
Dimensions:
68cm (W) x 68cm (D) x 49cm (H)
Condition:
Excellent original vintage condition throughout. Aged patina as expected with a few small dark age spots to the resin. Professionally rewired and ready for installation. Supplied with white cotton covered flex as standard. If an alternative flex is preferred, please let us know and we can arrange it, though this will incur an additional lead time.
