Behold The Cloud, a creation by New Zealand based designer, Richard Clarkson (Picture: http://www.richardclarkson.com/shop/cloud)

We’ve never wanted anything more. Well, not since we wanted that chocolate croissant this morning, oh and that dress we saw in H&M’s window. Okay, anyway, we REALLY want this.

It’s a lamp (or you can have the ceiling light version) that looks like a thunderstorm. Yes, you can have a thunderstorm in your very living room.

Created by designer Richard Clarkson, The Cloud (nice) is an interactive lamp and speaker system, designed to mimic a thundercloud.

It uses motion sensors to detects a user’s presence and then creates a unique lightning and thunder show dictated by their movement. We know. Mind. Blown.


This is the lamp version – it also comes as a ceiling light (Picture: http://www.richardclarkson.com/shop/cloud)

The system comes with a powerful speaker from which the user can stream music via any Bluetooth compatible device. A musical thunder storm? It just gets better.



The Cloud can also be dimmed or brightened according to whim.

Or, you could get loads of them and recreate an almighty storm/Armageddon in your lounge.

There’s just one tiny drawback. Sorry to break this to you, but the lamp costs around £560 and it’s just under £2,000 for the ceiling light. Oh.

Reckon IKEA does something similar?
