With its elastic movement and shifting form, urchin softlight paper lamp invites playful interaction. Using flexible honeycomb geometry, the textile lighting expands and morphs into myriad shapes as you manipulate it with your hands. The sculptural lights create a curious motion akin to that of a sea creature, giving the luminary its unique name.

Made from the same translucent white polyethylene textile material as cloud softlight and textile softwall + softblock, these pieces can be matched to create fluid, sculptural environments. The textile is water resistant, tear resistant and antistatic so as not to attract dust.


Magnetic connector:

Rare earth magnets set into the textile create a hidden seam for the shade to fasten to itself.


Form:

The asymmetrical sides of urchin softlight create two distinct families of forms. Turning the flat side out transforms the shade into a cone or cylinder, while the curved side fashions more rounded, organic shapes.


Material:

The shades are made from a textile that possesses the delicate look of Japanese washi and transmits light as gentle glow.

A nonwoven polyethylene, the material is tear- and water-resistant, UV-stable and anti-static to repel dust.


Dimmer switch:

A custom dimmer featuring one-button functionality cycles urchin luminosity from off to full brightness and back.

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.
