Good Question: Where can I find this lamp?

Hello AT,

I was watching Californication last night and noticed the lights in the attached screen shot. Does anyone know who designed/makes/sells them?

Well Michael, this might not answer your question directly, but like a scavenger hunt, might point the way. Fellow AT:LA Editor, Richelle pointed out this link to today's curbed posting about the Ray Kappe-designed "Benton House" in Brentwood that was featured in the last episode of Californication. So we've got the house, who's got the lamp?

This looks like a cocoon lamp - which is a fiberglass-y material sprayed over a wire armature. DOn't know about this particular model, but castiglioni and tobia scarpa both made other versions of it. Castiglioni's viscontea is probably the most well-known..I did see a large hanging version similar to this one on Ebay once but they're pretty rare.

not the exact same lamps, but very similar @ hivemodern.com:

Firstly, thanks for all of these quick responses (I am Michael the question asker...). I'm going to keep sniffing around for these exact lamps - I'll report back if I find the answer.

Secondly, Laure thanks for the tip on the post at Curbed but the Kappe house shown is not the house that contained the cool lamps. I know this because I submitted the screen shots and post to Curbed!
Sometimes when I'm watching TV I get into a screenshot frenzy ;-)
In any case the Kappe house and the lamps are both cool.
