Story
Birds on a branch
A bird perched on a branch, flirting, singing and celebrating life is an image everyone recognises. Perch Light Branch turns it into a lamp whose sunlit birds are free to swing when softly touched, and they bring along the promise of spring. The Perch lights have been part of the Moooi collection since 2016.
Kinetic sculptures, birds and paper
The Perch came together from several interests of Umut Yamac: kinetic sculptures, birds and paper.
