For those who prefer their meteorological forecasts to be startlingly literal, check out this WiFi-enabled chandelier that magically produces indoor clouds based on weather conditions.
The mind-boggling creation of Swiss design studio Micasa LAB, Nebula 12 uses liquid nitrogen, hot water, vacuum suction, LEDs, “peculiar techniques” and wireless data pulled from the U.K.’s national weather service, Met Office, to produce puffy/potentially ominous indoor cumuli that alert users to current or upcoming outdoor conditions. And no, if the forecast calls for a 90 percent chance of rain, the lamp won’t start drizzling all over your new carpet. Rather, a dense, darker-hued cloud is produced.
