Product/Collection Name: Cloud Atlas

About This Product: Designed by Sally Thomas Cooper and Jason Kai Cooper, Cloud Atlas is a sculptural lighting collection that blurs the boundary between atmospheric art and functional illumination. Each fixture is hand-crafted in the studio’s East Los Angeles workshop, where glass, metal, and artisanal finishes converge to evoke the ephemeral beauty of shifting clouds and changing light.

The design features layered, hand-blown glass forms—each one unique—nestled within hand-finished brass and bronze armatures. The interplay of opalescent, frosted, and subtly tinted glass diffuses light in gradients, creating a dynamic glow reminiscent of dawn and dusk transitions.

Cloud Atlas debuted at “FOUR ON THE FLOOR”, a collaborative exhibition presented by MoscaPartners Variations during Salone del Mobile. Curated around the theme “Migrations” and inspired by the foundational four-on-the-floor rhythm in music, FOUR ON THE FLOOR united design luminaries from across the Americas—Thomas Cooper Studio (Los Angeles, USA), Ann Weber (Los Angeles, USA), Thierry Jeannot (France/Mexico City), and Angela Damman (USA/Yucatan, Mexico)—each contributing their unique “beat” to a harmonious convergence of light and form. The exhibition explored the torchière, a classic form of lighting, as each artist’s “instrument,” which becomes a shared canvas for examining the interplay of materiality, illumination, and cultural expression.

Meticulous attention is paid to proportion and composition, ensuring that every fixture reads as both a luminous object and a site-specific art piece. Cloud Atlas reflects Thomas Cooper Studio’s signature approach: narrative-driven design grounded in master craftsmanship and produced entirely in the United States.
