Adventures in Lighting

I've been scouring the lighting shops and showrooms lately to source chandeliers for a couple of design projects and have developed a new love of lighting.  There is just so much out there running the gamut from artistic yet functional to outrageous and even bizarre.  Some of these fixtures would surely be the star of any room, or in some cases, a surefire conversation piece!  Here are some highlights from this week's ventures:

Jelly in a Bubble lamps are made of mouth blown glass and filled with

various glass and silicone "jellyfish" lit by LEDs designed by Lone Stidsen

 

The 5 foot long Cirrus chandelier has a bronze finish and 12 candelabra lights

So there you have it...the extremely diverse range of lighting options that are out there.  I had to leave the most bizarre till the end.  And, if you think this creepy light is actually interesting (you might be a bit warped...like me!) you should definitely check out the nerdapproved site for more crazy gadgets... but that's an entirely different post!
