We are delighted to let you know that – out of 3,249 entries – our product Cloudy designed by Mathieu Lehanneur has won an iF Product Design Award 2014 in the Lighting category and will be recognized with the renowned iF label.
“For 60 years, the iF Product Design Award by the International Forum Design of Hannover has been an internationally recognized label for award-winning design and the iF brand has become a symbol for outstanding achievements in design. The awards were delivered on 28 February 2014 during the awards ceremony in Munich (Germany).

Normally, when we look at clouds, we seek organic shapes, similar to objects of living beings. In this case, the creative process has been reversed: this is a special object which, during its creation, revealed all its potential.
“Cloudy is a paradox! – explains young designer, Mathieu Lehanneur – This lamp has been created using extremely complex steel moulds, which have given it an almost magical lightness, a glass cloud floating in the air”.
An object-lamp therefore which, from the pencil of the designer to its engineering and manufacture, has taken on the shape of a light and evanescent cloud.
“By mixing together clear white glass with high-luminosity LEDs – explains Mathieu – Cloudy is a ray of sun after the rain!”

The Cloudy “cloud”, when switched on, thus reveals all its luminosity and evokes sunlight after the rain. A design lamp containing in itself a positive sign of hope and optimism.
Cloudy, available as a suspension lamp or light fitting, features gradient white blown glass and die-cast aluminium structure. It is lit by high-power LED lamps.
