Paradise By The Ceiling Light

Forget Meatloaf and his paradise by the dashboard light. Check out Paradise by the ceiling light, a modern light fixture by Ango, a design company based out of Thailand.

With a hand-finished stainless steel frame, Paradise acquires its interesting look from layers of silk cocoons. Silk cocoons are made in the glands within the silkworm’s body. Typically the cocoons are boiled before being used, but Ango uses the unprocessed cocoons in their natural color for Paradise.

To create the actual fixture, the silk cocoons are attached to thin wires which are then attached to the hand-soldered stainless steel frame, layer upon layer until the full shape is created.

What do you think about this chic ceiling light? Check out Paradise and other cool light fixtures at Ango’s website.
