Clouds are one of the most beautiful creations of the nature. They are mostly associated with weightlessness and emotions – whether happiness, sadness or imagination. Everyone tries to find their favorite character in them. They appear like white cotton balls drifting across the blue sky in slow motion. Continuously changing dimensions and forms make them a perfect source of inspiration for designers seeking out new design ideas. A lamp inspired by the fluffy form of clouds is a great example.

The cloud lamps can be a great centerpiece for any room. They are so cute and beautiful that you will definitely end up buying or creating one.

Here is a collection of some of the most beautiful cloud lamps you can find out there. They seem to be perfect to bring flashes and peals of thunder to any space.

It is created by Richard Clarkson in collaboration with Studio Crealev.
