Light is a practical concern in most homes, but it’s also much more. The suitable lamp or lampshade can cast the entire room in a different light or serve as a work of art on its own. Each of the creative lamps and chandelier designs on this list we collected is a light source that doubles as a work of art.
Although we posted a list of DIY lamp designs a while back, not all of us have the artist’s eye, talent, or know-how required to create awesome lamps or chandeliers like these. And there are a million different things that artists like these can do with light. They can color, block, brighten, or even bend it! (H/T)
