# Cumulus Cloud Lighting Wout Wessemius' 'Le Nuage' Pendant Lamp is Made for Dreamers By Meghan Young | Published 2012-01-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-nuage-pendant-lamp References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/le-nuage-by-wout-wessemius/) & [wessemius.nl](http://www.wessemius.nl/le_nuage01.htm) The Le Nuage pendant lamp is made for dreamers. Shaped to look like fluffy, white cumulus clouds, these light fixtures will encourage soft stares and imaginative attitudes. Since a home should be a place of relaxation, these lights would be a great addition. If placed in office settings, however, work would never get done. Created by Netherlands-based designer Wout Wessemius, the Le Nuage pendant lamp is as practical as it is whimsical. It sheds a [warm and welcoming glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass) that immediately wraps people in a comforting embrace, almost as though the sun was shining right through it. Made out of [polyester wadding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow), each light is as unique as the next, taking on different silhouettes just like actual clouds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cloud-inspired Lighting:** Opportunity to create lighting fixtures that mimic the look and feel of clouds to evoke a sense of relaxation and whimsy. - **Imaginative Design:** Potential for incorporating imaginative and whimsical elements into home decor products to encourage creativity and daydreaming. - **Unique Materials:** Opportunity to experiment with unconventional materials, such as polyester wadding, to create one-of-a-kind lighting fixtures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Innovation in cloud-inspired lighting can cater to homeowners looking to create a relaxing and dreamy ambiance. - **Office Furniture:** Integrating whimsical and imaginative lighting fixtures into office spaces can help foster creativity and inspire innovative thinking. - **Interior Design:** Designers can explore the use of unique materials and cloud-inspired lighting to add a touch of fantasy and personalization to various interior spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dreamlike Bubble-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airshape-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Cloud-Like Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass-2025-pendants.md) - [Bubble-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-lighting-design.md) - [Eclipse-Inspired Whimsical Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-traveler.md) - [Baked Good-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant-light.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Encapsulated Semi-Transparent Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nested-pendant-light.md) - [Metal Thread Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp.md)
