The "Smart Cloud is first and foremost a lamp, but with a bit of a twist," said GearHungry.com. The motion sensors inside this fluffy fake nimbus from designer Richard Clarkson trigger a light show "closely mimicking that of a thundercloud" whenever a person moves nearby. Built-in speakers blast out rumbles and thunderclaps, adding to the stormy effect. If you're not in the mood for simulated lightning, you can play music on the cloud via any Bluetooth-compatible device or change the light settings and use it as any other $3,360 lamp.
