Taiwanese designer Chia-Ying Lee playfully interprets the chandelier archetype with her new Random Cloud for Venice-based lighting brand Lodes. An expansion on her previous Random Solo, the new fixture connects multiple of the glass spheres to a central canopy, creating striking cloud-like clusters.
With Random Cloud by Chia-Ying Lee for Lodes, seven, 14, 19 or 23 orbs are suspended by cables of varying lengths to create expansive and statement-making formations. The individual blown-glass spheres have diameters of either 23 or 28 centimetres and are offered in seven colourways: Clear, Chrome, Rose Gold, Glossy Bronze, Gold, Glossy Smoke or Frosted White. The effect, as described by Lee, “catches the essence of why a cloud keeps fascinating us: voluminous yet weightless and floating.”
At once whimsical and elegant, the Random Cloud fixture conceals the 3W LED modules (available in a colour temperature of 2700K) within a matte-white silicone cap at the top of each glass sphere and illuminates the surface of each pendant evenly; the larger the configuration, the brighter the light output.
With its beautiful and captivating design, Random Cloud by Chia-Ying Lee is suitable for use in private residences as well as hospitality and workspace settings.
