Lighting Ideas

You can get lighting fixtures made using just about any design you can imagine–and some you never imagined. Who would have thought of highlighting one of those ubiquitous bar codes and wrapping it around the clear shade of a chandelier?

I imagine the laser cut black and transparent acrylic shade throws some interesting shadows around the dinner table.

Not all ceiling fixtures need to be purely functional. If you have room for something whimsical and cheery, try these artistic hanging lamps from Dan Black and Martin Blum.

“This delightful dragonfly light likes to fly from the ceiling and in stairways. You can choose the angle of its flight by adjusting the body. As an up lighter, Libellule’s semi-translucent, polypropylene wings cast a shadow on the walls or ceiling.”
