Cloud mast is a floor-supported luminaire. The 12′ (3.7 meter) tall vertical mast is crowned by a boom that holds a cloud mobile in shifting balance with a large fishing weight, an elegant alternative to wiring the mobiles to a ceiling. As air currents shift, the clouds rise and fall like ships floating on gentle seas. The weight responds to each change, locked in a perpetual search for equilibrium. This natural rhythm creates an enthralling visual and the comforting sense of lounging under a tree.

With no visible hot spots, each cloud transmits a gentle light in all directions. The horizontal boom can rotate 360 degrees around the mast, allowing light to be repositioned over another area with ease. As a floor-supported luminary, cloud mast is ideal for temporary installations or within spaces where electrical wiring might disrupt the ceiling.


Size:

all iterations of cloud mast have the same overall height of 12 feet (3.66 meters) and balance three cloud pendants.


90+ 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 90+ CRI LEDs.

With no visible hot spots, cloud softlight transmits a gentle, dimmable light in all directions.


Counterweight:

the spherical weight is visually captivating, displaying a simple purity of form. Originally used for fishing, the nickel-plated lead weight is a small token of the Pacific Northwest.


Material:

the translucent white shades of cloud softlight 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 non-woven textile is anti-static (repels dust), 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, can be 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 the clarity of speech and provide an acoustically calm room.

Protect Your Purchase: A Note on Authenticity

Be aware of unauthorized imitations circulating globally, both online and through various physical retailers — some even misusing the molo brand name. In the current digital landscape, online searches frequently prioritize these knock-offs and "dupes" above original content. This makes it easy for worthless imitations to hide behind a prestigious reputation, often appearing at the very top of your search results.

Although a lower price may be tempting, a counterfeit is a poor investment. Unlike authentic design pieces, its resale value drops to zero the moment you purchase it. True sustainability lies in longevity; authentic originals are built to stay appreciated across generations, whereas counterfeits inevitably end up as waste.

When you buy a knockoff, you are the primary victim. You are paying for a worthless product that lacks the structural integrity, safety certifications, and longevity of an original. Furthermore, your choice directly impacts the creator; counterfeits deprive designers of their rightful royalties. By choosing authentic molo products, you ensure that the creative minds behind these icons are fairly compensated and that their legacies are preserved.
