Perch Light Floor by Moooi

Designer and architect, Umut Yamac created the Perch Light Collection for Dutch brand, Moooi. Yamac envisioned a light where you can't see the light source, but rather how to control the light the user sees. He played about with various types of paper, finally choosing polypropylene - or archival as he described it. The paper is folded, using the traditional origami methods and creates the bird's body. The rest of the details as well as the branch the bird is resting on are brass painted aluminium.

Yamac wished to create a light that will not just bring ambience into the room, but the user can also interact with it. A small breeze can set the bird into a back and forth rocking movement; or the user himself can set in motion with a soft touch. The concept is that not only you will interact with the light, but the light itself interacts with the space around it and make it work with its surroundings. The Perch Light floor lamp has a single bird, delicately perching a top a branch at 164 cm height. The lamp is non dimmable, but includes an on/off switch to control the light.

The Perch Light Collection includes variety of application lights, with one or more birds perching on the branches. Explore the full collection and select among a table lamp, suspension light and wall lights. All lights include at least one, delicately folded origami bird and benefit from an integrated LED source.
