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 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.
