COCOON COCOON® COCOON - Eglo

COCOON ®
THE ORIGINAL
It was about 5,000 years ago, when a
small caterpillar had already written
COCOON ® history: the silkworm , the
larva of the silkworm moth (see on the
right), builds a cocoon for pupation
from a filament that is up to 900 metres
long. It is performing the heaviest
work in the process as it needs to wrap
itself with up to 300,000 loops. To get
250 g of silk thread in silk production,
some 3,000 cocoons will be needed
which is approximately equivalent to
about 1 kg.
We have taken this method as a model
for the production of our COCOON ®
luminaires. COCOON ® is designated as
a unique special formula licensed
by EGLO from which an extremely
resilient and elastic material is produced.
Models of any kind can
be covered with a diaphragm.
The variety of shapes allows
almost infinite possibilities
and only the sky is the limit in
terms of designer creativity.
