The Random collection by Moooi was designed by Bertjan Pots, a Dutch designer who is constantly experimenting with materials and methods of design. This experimentation led him to the design of the Random pendant and floor lamp. After three years of research and development, the Random collection caught the eye of the founder and creator of Moooi, Marcel Wanders. This excelled the Random collection into popularity and showcased its unique and modern style in a sleek black or white finish.
The method used to create these stunning shades is by wrapping a large beach ball in resin drained yarn, waiting for it to dry, popping the beach ball, and using the hard resin yarn shell as the shade. This technique means that each shade is made individually and is its own artistry. This unique, hands-on method has been the driving force behind the popularity of the collection. The Random pendant lights are part of the Moooi Originals collection since 2001 and the design has become iconic and quintessentially Moooi.
