This design takes us back to the start.

The Cloudberry was Atmos Projects’ first ever design. We began in the Summer of 2020, and our pilot model was the Cloudberry — our first step into design, and the first physical object we put out into the world.

The goal was simple — create an organic design that we would personally fall in love with. 2020 was when organics were at their peak of popularity, and the field was flooded with iconic designs that still remain excellent representations of the organic ethos today. As a product of our times, we felt deeply and personally drawn to the artistic, non-meta, non-competitive, experienced-focused principles of the organic genre. Our personal favorites at the time were designs from Static Co., A-RT, and One Drop, and having these in our diet of play experience gave us an extremely rich foundation of what organics could feel and play like.

Yet, we wanted to put something slightly different out into the world — a design that would have the fullness of the organic experience, but yet be uncompromising in performance. Form followed function, and the design we worked on for months featured a drastic schmoove-step ring, deceptively thick rims, and a relatively big frame. The result of those physical features was an organic design that was big and fat, with excellent comfort and handling, and yet had a light power and stability to its play.

The Cloudberry went on to enjoy multiple releases over the next three years, as well as inspiring the Fruitbowl organics lineup (featuring the Goji, Pomelo, and others) that became a foundation for what we built. Our final run of Cloudberries was in early 2023, when we released a tiny limited batch with a Moonrock coating.

Despite requests that we’ve received over the years for a Cloudberry rerelease, we eventually shifted our focus to other intriguing concepts and design challenges that we felt deserved our full attention.

Early this year, as part of our System_Refresh° design initiative, our focus eventually returned to our moment of origin, and we decided it was time for the Cloudberry to return to the fore.

We wanted the Cloudberry to make a comeback, but we wanted to do it right — in a way that paid tribute to its original feel and essence, while incorporating everything we learnt about organic design since its initial release. The usual quality-of-life tweaks would not be sufficient for a remake — it was due for a proper, ground-up overhaul.

We wanted to truly remaster the Cloudberry concept in a way that made sense for a 2025 rerelease.

The first thing we did was to remove the schmoove-step, one of the Cloudberry’s most enduring design features. Early on, the feature helped us form the Cloudberry’s signature light power through complex weight distribution — but since then we’ve learned how to do that without physical exaggeration.

The schmoove-step, while a unique feature, detracted slightly from the purity of the organic concept — it gives the Cloudberry hints of a “H”-shape in its overall profile. The updated frame of the Cloudberry OS is cleaner, simpler and more minimal, and infinitely more aligned to a purist’s organic.

The general physique of the Cloudberry OS (”OS” being our internal suffix for Original Series) is also significantly different. Sporting a smaller, but wider body, the Cloudberry’s diameter-to-width ratio has decreased — which means it is smaller, but fatter. From a player’s perspective, this makes it more comfortable, while being more stable.

With the Cloudberry OS, there’s also an intense focus on form. One of our original inspirations five years ago was pottery, and the same influence is present here. We took additional consideration with curvature, shape, and angles of touch — especially in how it fits into the catch of the hand.

We’ve also made the Cloudberry OS more plump — it’s 1.4g heavier, mostly in the mid-to-rim area, which gives it a touch more juice in the spin department.

The 65.8g label might suggest hefty play, but in our experience it feels a lot lighter than it sounds — it plays more akin to a 63-64g model.

The Cloudberry OS is — like it’s forebear — soft on the catch, agile and nimble. Where it completely beats its elder is in the float and comfort department. In motion, it feels comfortably soft and light, yet balanced with the zip and punch that characterized the original. There’s next to zero reluctance in its movements, and moves fluidly wherever you go.

We’re extremely proud of where the Cloudberry OS ended up becoming — faithful to the initial vision, exceeding it in areas that genuinely matter, and more than capable of assuming the mantle of the original.

The raison d'être of organics, in our perspective, is a focus on feel and experience. There is a place for pure performance; technical and competitive priorities remain significant as well. Where organics stand peerless is in the way it cultivates a player’s sensitivity — to motion, alignment, momentum, and even error.

In our view, the Cloudberry OS is the truest embodiment of that notion.
