Moooi Random Light II Pendant

The Moooi Random Light II by Bertjan Pot takes the concept of controlled chaos and turns it into something genuinely magical - this isn't just another pendant light, it's like having a luminous cloud floating in your space. The whole thing started as an experiment with fiberglass yarn soaked in epoxy resin, randomly coiled around an inflatable balloon until it hardened into this incredible translucent cocoon. What makes each Random Light special is that no two are exactly alike - the random coiling process means yours will have its own unique pattern of openings and curves that create these beautiful shadow plays on your walls. Available in classic white or dramatic black, and three sizes from the intimate small at just under 20 inches to the statement-making large at over 40 inches, there's a Random Light that works for pretty much any space.

The Random Light II brings some smart improvements to Bertjan Pot's original 2001 design that took three years to perfect. The new version includes a specially designed Moooi LED bulb that sits perfectly centered thanks to an elongated metal rod, plus they've improved the unpacking experience and added better ceiling hardware. The UL listing gives you peace of mind for installation, while the choice of 13-foot or 32-foot cables means it works whether you've got standard ceilings or dramatic high spaces. The magic happens when you turn it on - that seemingly random pattern of openings creates the most incredible ambient lighting that feels soft and warm rather than harsh or directional. It's the kind of fixture that makes people stop and ask "how did they make that?"

Moooi has supported Bertjan Pot's experimental approach to design since the very beginning, understanding that sometimes the most beautiful results come from embracing controlled randomness rather than rigid precision. Pot's background in textiles shows in how he thinks about creating three-dimensional fabric from industrial materials, turning something as basic as fiberglass into objects that feel almost organic. The brand's Dutch commitment to innovation means they're willing to invest in manufacturing processes that produce unique results rather than identical products, proving that in a world of mass production, there's still room for pieces that celebrate the beauty of happy accidents.
