Description
Piece of Gehry in your house!
Frank Gehry's Cloud Lamp is a wonderful sculptural pendant light and was produced for Belux in Germany. The Cloud Lamp is the first serial produced lamp by Frank Gehry, a Pritzker award-winning architect who created the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The name alone, Cloud, evokes the poetic nature of these attractive modern lamps, which, according to Frank Gehry, should convey 'the feeling of freedom and eccentricity'.
Cloud Lamp has a voluminous yet delicate paper-like shade, in the center of which is the invisible light source. Frank Gehry's Cloud lamp have an irregular sculptural shape, marked by countless folds, crimps, bulges and dents. The Cloud Lamps suggest a fleecy CLOUD and then again a large, soft snowball. Looked at more closely, the lampshade of the Cloud lamp consists of several interlinked cup-like elements. Each Cloud Lamp has an individual note in spite of all lamps having the same structure and the same predetermined shape. The idea is that the fold structure of the shade, which is shaped more or less by accident during production, can be changed by builging it out or pressing it in. In doing so, Frank Gehry makes users into co-designers who can repeatedly change the shape of the lamp if they so wish. Frank Gehry's Cloud Lamps are made of flexible, tear-free, flame-resistant and aging resistant multiply refined polyester material. This material is easy to clean and therefore ideal for CLOUD.
