Video: Air lamps, cloud lamps, paper lamps

Remember how in the elementary grades of school and in the preparatory group of the kindergarten we had to cut out all sorts of handicrafts from colored paper like snowflakes, Christmas trees, lanterns? It was especially difficult to make flashlights: scissors now and then tried to cut more paper than was needed, and then the flashlight ceased to be as beautiful as the one shown by the teacher. At least that's how it was for me … London-based designer Yu Jordy Fu, apparently, did not have such problems with the manufacture of flashlights.
The collection of designer "lanterns" created, or rather, cut out of paper by Yu Jordy Fu, is called Cloud lamps. To be honest, the clouds remind me a little, but the train of thought of a creative person has always been difficult to understand. So the clouds …
Some of the "cloud lampshades" were featured at London's "In From the Cold" festival. As the designer himself says, he is primarily an architect, and he is used to thinking in this very format. For him, each object is a form, and it is the form that he pays maximum attention to.
It should be noted that the lampshades are made of thick Chinese paper of special quality, the recipe of which is many hundreds of years old. Chinese girls have long used this material to decorate their homes and make beautiful things, and Yu Jordy Fu simply developed this ancient technique to create expressive and complex products in three-dimensional format.

Air-cloud painting by Jeff Faust (Jeff Faust)
I don't know about you, but I have snow-white shaggy clouds in a bright blue sky for a long time and strongly associated with a sunny summer or spring day, a picnic on fresh green grass and other positive pictures. Therefore, the artist, whose works I want to show you today, can be safely called "the master of summer positive" or "the shepherd of heavenly lambs"

Cloud Walk. Creative paper chandeliers
Clouds, clouds, the colors of a white dream … Especially on a fine autumn day, when it is sunny and calm outside. Probably, on one of these days, the designer Yu Jordy Fu took it into his head to create an unusual Cloud Walk chandelier-cloud. It was with this art project that he performed at the famous London Design Festival 2009, which has only been talked about lately
Mushroom Cloud: A mushroom cloud of mushrooms. Installation by Chris Drury
"… For a long time the guys could not understand what kind of" fungus "grows in the distance" - this is how a good half of the bloodthirsty stories about a little boy that children told each other when I went to school ends. A similar "fungus" has grown in the portfolio of contemporary artist Chris Drury, except that nothing had to be blown up for this, and no one was hurt. This peaceful installation is called Mushroom Cloud
