About this deal
From the late 1960s onwards, Gehry has consistently created innovative lighting concepts and designed light objects for his manifold construction projects. With cloud-xl sleek, ellipsoidal form, this elongated cloud is ideal for the dining room table or for rooms with low ceilings. The idea is that the fold structure of the shade, which is shaped more or less by accident during production, can be changed by bulging it out or pressing it in. Gehry also shares with Noguchi a continued interest in paper, a material he has worked with intensively in his furniture projects. Apart from experiments with ‘Colorcore’, a material that inspired the ‘Fish’ and ‘Snake’ lamps that were produced in small editions in the mid-1980s, these were all special designs developed in the context of specific projects.

After comprehensive tests, a multiply refined polyester material was developed, which feels and looks like strong fibrous paper. The rectangular block base gives the light its stability with the table lamps following the same principle but instead having five parts. a nonwoven polyethylene, the material is tear- and water-resistant, UV-stable and anti-static to repel dust.For the production of Cloud, sheets of this new material are deep-drawn to form cups and then stiffened using a transparent polycarbonate ring. Each lamp has a voluminous yet delicate paper-like shade, in the centre of which is the invisible light source.
