Award-winning lighting manufacturer LightArt recently unveiled the Ribbon Cloud Pendant — a lightweight, sculptural fixture representative of the soft, calming clouds seen adrift in Seattle’s skies. Incorporating biophilic design reminiscent of the natural environment, the Ribbon Cloud Pendant backlights layers of ribbon formed into a soft, glowing cloud, inspiring a sense of feeling in its viewers. With a matte finish and sophisticated look, the pendant is produced by encasing fabric between thin layers of Varia, parent company 3form’s formable material, to give the Ribbon Cloud Pendant its unique form and texture. The dimensionality of the fabric captures subtle luminous shadows, giving the fixtures their cloud-inspired look and name. The Ribbon Cloud Pendants are standard in white but are also available in 250+ custom color options.

Unlike larger chandeliers, Ribbon Cloud Pendants bring the look and feel of residential lighting to commercial spaces. The pendants highlight an ongoing theme in LightArt’s work — making functional pieces that dually serve as an art piece or focal point in a room. LightArt's design team hopes to go beyond serving the function of lighting — they aim to evoke emotion and create a striking design element in a space. The Ribbon Cloud Pendant does just that.
