Viscontea
Interior
Pendants
Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni designed Viscontea in 1960 with the same cocoon technique as Taraxacum: a steel frame sprayed with resin. Flos says its organic form came from nature, and its name nods to the grace of a viscountess.
About Viscontea
The resin gives a soft, diffused light. It takes a bulb, which isn’t included.
Ask us and we’ll help you pair it with a bulb that dims smoothly on your control.
