Amongst all the lists, there is a list of 10 best lamps in the world.
I am one of the many who shares hope and pride to the fact that it was possible for one man to design at least 5 out of 10 on the list.
One of the lamps on the list must be Achille Castiglioni’s cocoon lamp he designed in the early 60s.He was there when I was kicked out of design school after a year and when I made my first wooden rocking lamp which burned my room down.I have always been so much inspired by the man who gave identity to what we call the untouchable lightness.
And still, sometimes, he taps me on the shoulder, and when I turn my head..... and think a little.....I smile.... I take a new fresh piece of paper and try again to fill the shadow of his light.
Today, I have made my cocoon lamp and hope he forgives me, as I have named it Zeppelin.
