Mulberry tree bark
The branches of the mulberry shrubs are harvested in the autumn, and the innermost layer of bark (white bark) is stripped from the timber and boiled in a mixture of water and soda ash. The strips are then beaten by hand until they have been well separated.
The diffuser is formed by hand sewing each of the prepared clusters of fiber to a cotton grid, which has been fastened to the base structure.
The colour of the material is a soft white that yellows a little with age. To clean diffusers in this material, we recommend that they be dusted or lightly vacuumed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chrysalis Sky Silk Cocoon Floor Lamp
Learn more about Chrysalis Sky by Ango, including its handcrafted silk cocoon construction, interior design applications, artisan craftsmanship and suitability for luxury residential and hospitality projects.
What is a silk cocoon floor lamp?
A silk cocoon floor lamp uses natural silk cocoons as a light-diffusing material. The delicate silk fibres gently soften and scatter the light, creating a warm ambient glow with a rich organic texture that cannot be replicated by glass, plastic or fabric. The result is comfortable, atmospheric lighting that enhances both residential and hospitality interiors.
What makes Chrysalis Sky by Ango different from other designer floor lamps?
Chrysalis Sky is handcrafted from individually selected natural silk cocoons mounted over a hand-finished stainless steel structure. Rather than being mass-produced, every lamp is carefully assembled by artisans at Ango Working Studio in Thailand. The design received the Best Lighting & Accessories Design Award from ELLE Decoration Thailand, recognising its innovation, craftsmanship and sculptural beauty.
Why do interior designers choose silk cocoon lighting?
Interior designers appreciate silk cocoon lighting because it combines functional illumination with natural beauty. The translucent silk fibres create soft, glare-free ambient light while introducing warmth, texture and sculptural character. This makes silk cocoon lighting especially suitable for luxury homes, boutique hotels, restaurants, lounges and wellness spaces.
Which interior design styles suit Chrysalis Sky?
Chrysalis Sky complements a wide range of contemporary interiors, including Organic Modern, Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, Contemporary Minimalist and Boutique Hospitality design. Its natural material palette and sculptural silhouette allow it to function as both decorative lighting and a statement piece.
Is Chrysalis Sky suitable for hotels and hospitality projects?
Yes. Chrysalis Sky is designed for luxury hospitality environments including boutique hotels, resorts, reception areas, hotel suites, lounges and restaurants. The warm ambient light helps create welcoming spaces while the handcrafted construction adds a distinctive sense of craftsmanship and authenticity.
Is every Chrysalis Sky floor lamp unique?
Yes. Every Chrysalis Sky floor lamp is individually handcrafted using natural silk cocoons. Because silk is a natural material, each piece displays subtle variations in texture and appearance, making every lamp one of a kind while preserving the original design intent.
Where is Chrysalis Sky handcrafted?
Every Chrysalis Sky is handcrafted at Ango Working Studio in Bangkok, Thailand. Since 2002, Ango has developed its own artisan production techniques that combine contemporary lighting design with traditional handcraft, creating collectible lighting for residential and hospitality interiors worldwide.
