A mix between contemporaneity and tradition. The hanging design of Cord Lamp comes in two sizes, composed of a two-tone sphere made by pairing two shells of striped blown glass which are connected by a ring in embossed metal finished with matte black varnish. The bottom element is transparent and shiny, whereas the upper one, in colored paste glass, also shiny, is available in amethyst, emerald green, and avio blue. These alternating colors and transparencies give Cord Lamp the perfect balance between past and present.

Born in Germany, Werner Aisslinger began his career as a freelancer for large established firms by names such as Jasper Morrison, Ron Arad and de Lucchi. In 1993, he founded his own Berlin-based studio. He has won the "Compasso d'Oro" award numerous times, as well as other important European awards, and is the author of iconic pieces that are in the permanent collections of the MoMa, Vitra Design Museum and the Metropolitan in New York. He is convinced that design must fundamentally be a means for exploring materials and technologies, and concentrates on the experimental use of new material elements such as fiberglass, gel, aluminum foam, neoprene and 3-D fabrics. The fruits of his research are represented in the Juli series, designed by Aisslinger for Cappellini.

The one-of-a-kind glass shells are the work of expert glassmakers, which allows them to provide warm, enveloping light. Any air bubbles or variation in color are due to the artisanal workmanship of the glass and should be considered an added value in the design.
