Nuvola Cocoon Chandelier by Tobia Scarpa for Flos, Italy 1962 Iconic Italian Mid-Century Modern
Step into the captivating world of Italian Mid-Century Modern design with the Nuvola cocoon chandelier by Tobia Scarpa for Flos in 1962. This light suspension model boasts an internal metal rod frame, gently embraced by a cocoon covering. Crafted by Tobia Scarpa for Flos in 1962, the chandelier takes its name, "Nuvola," inspired both by its cloud-like form and the delicate light that filters through the cocoon. Originating in mid-20th century Italy through Albert Eisenkeil's innovation, the cocoon technique adds an ethereal charm to national design history. Following this innovation, Achille, Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, and Tobia Scarpa joined the experimentation, leading to the birth of Flos in 1962. This pioneering company produced cocoon lamps that soon became refined icons of Italian design. Elevate your space with the iconic presence of Nuvola. Let this chandelier's unique blend of form, cocoon technique, and timeless design narrative cast an enchanting light that embraces the past while illuminating your present. Own a piece of Italian design history that beautifully marries artistry and innovation, defining an era of elegance.

Customer Reviews
Denis and his crew were wonderful!! This arrived safely all the way from Slovenia to the good old USA in New Jersey. The packing was extremely professional, I have never seen anything like it. My beautiful lamp arrived safely. Everything was superb, the communication, everything, it arrived extremely quick with DHL. Thank you again.
The chandelier was stunning, even better than the pictures. It was very well packed and arrived safely protected in a wooden box. Denis, the store owner, helped me all the way through my purchase, following the delivery until it was already in my hands. I definitely recommend the shop.
