Teli Pendant Lamp by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Kartell

A rare model 'Teli' ('sheets of cloth') pendant lamp designed in 1959 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Kartell, Italy. 
The lamp is made of an as ingenious as simple geometric composition of rectangular raflon sheets with brass rods and hangs from an aluminum plate.

The total drop is 140 cm, the shade is circa 60 cm high. We also have a later lamp, based on this model, produced by Flos in the 1970s available at Bloomberry.
