Flock of Light has an enlarged version

A third Flock of Light size has been introduced

First introduced in 2020 with 11 and 21 lights, Flock of Light by Studio Toer for Moooi has a larger addition: Flock of Light 31.

Deriving from an imaginative art installation, the inspiration for Studio Toer’s suspended lamp came from nature: the glowing sparks of the fireflies that turn up at dusk.

‘We drew on that transient moment when a swarm of fireflies drifts. Inspired by nature and the way these little creatures move, we applied our knowledge of technology and ignited an idea. Together, we continued developing this concept, which with freedom of play became the Flock of Light,’ says Studio Toer, founded by Castor Bours and Wouter Widdershoven.

The design transforms from a light and airy artistic piece by day to a swarm of bright warm lights at night – a swarm captured in stillness. Visit: www.moooi.com
