Story
A chandelier seen through its cocoon
Marcel Wanders designed Zeppelin around the Cocoon technique pioneered by the Castiglioni brothers. Under the translucent membrane sits a classic chandelier structure, revealed only through light. The floating form, with its candle-like elements and a central crystal detail, balances tradition and imagination.
