Le Nuage is a suspended handmade light that resembles a cloud. Made from polyester wadding, each light is one of a kind with its own unique shape. Netherlands-based Wout Wessemius designed the piece to emit functional and ambient light with the use of energy-efficient bulbs. A plastic shell that diffuses light and creates variegated colors surrounds the light bulb to give the illusion that the sun is shining through the clouds.

Interestingly Hotel Joyce in Paris which i visited in June 2010 had this same light in their lounge. However theirs displayed movement, with the cloud changing shape. We suspected there were some tiny mechanics inside the light which pushed and pulled to change its shape. Its slow changing shape mimicked that of real clouds.
