Add this to your Christmas list immediately, because it's pretty much the coolest thing you'll ever see and you definitely need one in every room in the house.

Richard Clarkson, a New Zealand based designer, has created a lamp and speaker system called The Cloud, that replicates the experience of being in a thunderstorm inside your house. That's right, the soothing sounds of heavy rain and rolling thunder, plus flashes of lightning. NEED.

The Cloud combines light and sound to create an indoor thunderstorm, designed to look like a little cloud that hangs from your ceiling. Lights flash in different areas to replicate lightning, while speakers provide pretty damn convincining thunder. It adapts its thunderstorm to your movements around the room, creating a unique storm pattern dependent on how and where you move.

The super cool lamp/speaker thing also has the option of nightlight mode - perfect for people who sleep best to the soothing sounds of rain - and can stream music. You can also put multiple lamps all over your ceiling so it looks like there's a sky IN YOUR BEDROOM. It's too exciting.

Unfortunately, any dreams of a cloud-filled house are pretty quickly ruined by the fact that The Cloud is almost two thousand bloody pounds. If you get JUST the lamp though, it's around 600 quid. Bargain, right? Oh dear.

Would you buy a thunderstorm-replicating cloud lamp (if it wasn't so ridiculously expensive)? Leave a comment below of tweet us @CosmopolitanUK to let us know your thoughts.
