Sky in the interior: lights in the form of a cloud
It would be nice if there was a regular ceiling inapartment turned into a clear blue sky with fluffy clouds! Interior and industrial designers offer many options for decorating the bedroom and living room using accessories and lighting fixtures that resemble the sky, and in some cases, perfectly imitate real clouds. Let's take a look at interesting designer lamps in the form of a cloud.
Design duo Margie Teeuwen and Erwin Zwiercreated unusual ceiling lamps stylized as clouds. The authors worked with paper for a long time, revealing all the possibilities that it offers for design. But to create a safe and durable lamp, they had to look for an alternative to paper with similar properties. As a result of the experiments, the lamps in the form of a cloud were made of synthetic material - plastic biodegradable paper. The lamps easily take and hold any shape, they can be crumpled and stretched, creating your own design.
It seems that real clouds are made offluffy cotton wool. Dutch designer Wout Wessemius used this illusion and made cloud-shaped lamps from polyester fiber. The different density of the cotton wool in the lamps allows more or less light from the bulb to pass through, so it seems as if the cloud has blocked out the sun. The user can also slightly change the shape of the lamp by pulling or bunching the fiber.
Chinese industrial designer Zhao Lipingoffers cloud lamps in the form of a chandelier and a floor lamp. The lampshades are made of matte polyvinyl chloride, are static and do not change shape. The chain - the switch of the floor lamp resembles a drop of rain, and the base is the shadow of a cloud on the ground. Such lamps for the bedroom, living room or children's room will perfectly fit into almost any interior, from a loft to a discreet classic.
But the closest to creating an almost real cloud isNew Zealand industrial designer Richard Clarkson came up. His unusual audiovisual device is not just a cloud-shaped lamp, but a very thin and precise imitation of a thundercloud with all the accompanying effects (except perhaps the downpour). Fans of thunderstorms can now enjoy this natural phenomenon right at home at any time. The cloud is made of a spongy synthetic material with a hypoallergenic filler. All the electronics, bulbs and speakers are hidden inside. The lamp imitates thunderclaps and lightning flashes both with a remote control and in response to movement. A Bluetooth module is provided for controlling the device via a smartphone or tablet, so you can adjust the volume and intensity of the flashes, play your favorite music to the peals of thunder. Of course, there is also a simple night light function without additional effects.
