CLOUDS — Light That Softens the Space
CLOUDS Collection — Glass Lamps Inspired by the Lightness of Clouds
The CLOUDS collection by Gie El is a series of glass lamps and chandeliers inspired by the natural lightness of clouds. Soft, rounded and slightly irregular, the glass shades resemble small clouds suspended in space. It is decorative lighting designed for interiors where light is meant to do more than simply illuminate — it is meant to create atmosphere, softness and a distinct sense of presence.
The CLOUD model was the beginning of the entire CLOUDS collection. It is a minimalist glass lamp with an organic form, suspended on thin steel wires. This construction gives the shade a feeling of lightness, as if it were floating gently above a table, in a living room, a bedroom, a hallway or any quiet space where subtle details and timeless design matter.
CLOUD Glass Lamp — Soft Light and Minimalist Form
The CLOUD lamp was designed to bring delicate, diffused light into the interior. The light source placed inside the shade passes through the milky glass and spreads softly across its surface. The effect is calm, warm and pleasant to the eye.
This is not a lamp that dominates a room with sharp light. CLOUD works in a more subtle way. It creates atmosphere, enhances the architecture of the space and introduces an organic softness. Its simple form makes it suitable for modern and minimalist interiors, as well as more natural spaces where materials, light and detail play an important role.
Hand-Formed Glass Coloured in the Mass
The glass shades from the CLOUDS collection are made by hand from subtly coloured glass. Their surface reveals delicate streaks, soft colour transitions, slight marks and irregularities. These are not imperfections — they are part of the process.
Each CLOUDS shade is unique. Because the glass is formed by hand, no two pieces are exactly the same. The surface changes depending on daylight, viewing angle and time of day. During the day, the glass can appear calm and understated. In the evening, when the lamp is switched on, it reveals depth, soft glow and a painterly inner structure.
This is what gives the CLOUDS collection its particular character: it combines functional lighting with the presence of a handcrafted glass object.
CLOUDS 3 Chandelier — A Light Composition Above the Table or in the Living Room
CLOUDS 3 is composed of three glass shades. Each shade has its own shape and proportions, which makes the entire composition feel natural, light and dynamic. Together, they look like small clouds gently gathered in the air.
CLOUDS 3 works beautifully as a chandelier above a dining table, a light for a living room, an elegant feature for a dining area or a decorative lighting object in a more intimate interior. The three glass shades create a clear but still subtle accent — ideal for spaces that need a minimalist lamp with a more sculptural and artistic character.
The light passing through the milky glass softly diffuses around the lamp, highlighting the structure of the shades and their irregular colour transitions.
CLOUD 7_A Chandelier — A Vertical Light Form for High Interiors
CLOUD 7_A is a larger chandelier from the CLOUDS collection. It consists of seven glass shades in different shapes and sizes. Their arrangement creates a light, vertical composition that works especially well in high interiors.
The CLOUD 7_A chandelier can be used by a staircase, in a mezzanine space, in a high living room, an entrance hall or a commercial interior. Its form has a more spatial presence than a single lamp. It is not only a source of light, but also a sculptural light installation.
Thanks to the thin steel wires, the glass shades seem to float freely in the air. Even in a larger scale, the whole composition remains delicate, organic and visually light.
The Gie El Philosophy — Light as Artistic Expression
At Gie El, we do not treat light only as a function. For us, light is a material that can shape atmosphere, emotion and the way a space is experienced. This is why the CLOUDS lamps are not created as standard lighting products. They are closer to sculptural light objects — pieces that become part of the architecture of the interior.
Every composition has its own rhythm, proportions and balance. We are interested in the moment when a lamp stops being an accessory and begins to define the character of a place. Light can soften a room, emphasise its height, guide the eye, create calm or become a subtle focal point.
This is why the CLOUDS collection was designed as an open system — delicate in appearance, yet rich in creative possibilities.
CLOUDS — Light That Softens the Space
The CLOUDS collection was created for interiors where atmosphere truly matters. Glass shades, milky light and organic forms bring a sense of calm, lightness and gentle softness into the space.
This is lighting for those who are looking for more than a standard lamp. CLOUDS is a collection of glass lamps and chandeliers that become part of the architecture of the interior — subtle, sculptural and memorable.
Like clouds suspended in space.
