The founder of Makhno Studio Serhii Makhno creates the Khmara lamp, which is a modern pendant light that is made to replicate the organic appearance of clouds. It was first unveiled a decade ago with a rounded form made carefully by hand from polystyrene foam and complete with smooth or rough plaster on top.
Now, the lamps come in the option of a metallic finish or other futuristic forms, including a fully ceramic variation. The Ukranian designer was influenced to create the lamp to mimic clouds and form light in a sculptural way. The various lamp iterations include "Khmara Smooth, Khmara Rough, Khmara Metal and Khmara Ceramic." It comes in a range of colors and finishes and seven sizes.
