Inspired by Alexander Calder’s marvellous kinetic sculptures, cloud softlight mobile defines space through gentle movement and an intimate sense of volume and scale. Each mobile suspends a trio of pendants that resemble paper lanterns. The shades attach to the mobile structure by individual points, softly bobbing and revolving with shifting air currents.
Each shade is made from non-woven polyethylene bonded with honeycomb geometry. While it has the delicate appearance of a paper lampshade, the material is tear- and water-resistant, dust-repellent, and easily cleanable. Visually light and airy, the honeycomb structure also functions as an overhead acoustic panel, absorbing sound and subduing reflected noise.
The shades are lit from within by energy-efficient LEDs. When dimmed, they glow like clouds struck by the first light of sunrise, or a thunderstorm gathering over a distant plain. At full brightness, the luminaires provide light that is perfect to work, read, eat, and live by.

colour temperature (4000K, 3000K, and 2700K)
4000K mimics mid-day sunlight, making it perfect for the spaces we occupy during the day. It helps promote awareness and productivity in offices and other commercial environments.
The warmth of 2700K or 3000K is suited to spaces where we wind down in the evening, such as bedrooms, living rooms, or restaurants.
95+ CRI
Colour Rendering Index (CRI) measures the ability of a human-made light source to reproduce the colours of the object it illuminates accurately. With a maximum score of 100, CRI values that are 90 and above are considered excellent, while scores below 80 are generally considered poor. CRI is measured in relation to the colour temperature of the light source and its equivalent daylight spectrum. All molo lighting, including the cloud softlight collection, is made with 95+ CRI LEDs.With no visible hot spots, cloud softlight transmits a gentle, dimmable light in all directions.
material
The translucent white shades have a visually delicate appearance reminiscent of Japanese washi paper, and the pattern of its fine translucent fibres comes to life when illuminated.
The shades are made from recyclable, non-woven polyethylene (HDPE). This material is anti-static, tear-resistant and water-resistant. Made to order for molo, our textile is a bright white that has an impressive colour consistency over time. It is easy to maintain, can be dusted and vacuumed, and, if necessary, wiped clean with a soft cloth, water, and liquid dish soap.
acoustics
A lighting fixture that absorbs sound and reduces the reflected noise in a room, cloud luminaires are an elegant way to float acoustic panels overhead.
cloud softlight has a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating of 0.45, meaning that it absorbs 45% of the sound that it comes in contact with. Making cloud softlight an excellent way to improve speech clarity and provide an acoustically calm room.
plug-in / hardwire
Choose between plug-in or hardwire installation. Plug-in cloud mobiles plug into a standard wall outlet and work internationally with 100 – 240 VAC. Plug-in mobiles do not have an inline dimmer. Select pendants if you would like a dimmable plug-in cloud.
Hardwire type also works internationally and requires a qualified electrician to connect cloud directly to a building’s electrical wiring. Hardwire cloud comes with a remote driver that is compatible with 0 – 10V Dimming systems. DALI-compatible drivers available on request.
immersive environments
Pairing cloud with textile softwall or softseating creates cohesive arrangements that reach from ground to sky.
