Kumo, which in Japanese means ``Cloud”, is a luminaire that creates a magical atmosphere by filtering and shaping the light passing through it magnificently, due to its 3D origami textile structure. Its frame can be adjusted by hand, to create an endless number of shapes, just like clouds do. The textile surface of Kumo is composed of a combination of simple squares and triangles, which together form an intricate 3D structure. The textiles used for Kumo are locally produced at TextileLab Tilburg.
With the Tunable White feature, Kumo offers Human Centric Lighting principles, allowing you to customize the ambiance to suit your needs. Kumo is a distinctive piece that combines decorative design with advanced lighting technology.
