Inspired by Alexander Calder’s marvellous kinetic sculptures, cloud softlight mobile paper lamp redefines space through gentle movement and an intimate sense of enclosure. Each cloud pendant attaches to the mobile structure by a single point, softly bobbing and revolving with shifting air currents.

The paper lamp shades are lit from within by 90+ CRI LEDs to give a natural colour to all that they illuminate. When dimmed the cloud conjures a stormy, quietly dramatic atmosphere. At full brightness, the luminaries provide gentle light that is perfect to work, read, eat and live by. The honeycomb structure of cloud softlight acts as acoustic panels, floating overhead and absorbing sound, subduing reflected noise within a space.


Colour temperature:

colour temperature is a scale that measures how ‘warm’ (yellow) or ‘cool’ (blue) the light from a particular source is.

cloud softlight collection colour temperatures:
4000K · neutral daylight white
3000K · warm white
2700K · warmer white

4000K mimics mid-day daylight, making it perfect for the spaces we occupy during the day. It helps to promote awareness and productivity in offices and other work environments.

the warmth of 2700 – 3000K is suited to spaces that we wind down in at the end of the day and evening, such as bedrooms, living rooms and restaurants.

2700K is shown in the image on the left


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.


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.


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.

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.
