44 Unique Home Lighting Fixtures

Interesting Illumination, from Peeling Lamps to Slinky Lights

— October 13, 2009 — Eco
Gone are the days when single lightbulbs dangle from the ceiling. Today’s home lighting is much more unique—if the existence of dog lamps, digital wallpaper, and stringy chandeliers are any indication. 

The increasing variety of futuristic and unique home lighting fixtures is like a constant Christmas for innovative home decorators, but for someone like myself, something that provides light is enough—no folding fixtures or firefly-inspirations necessary. Nonetheless, here is a round-up of some of the most interesting and bizarre home lighting innovations available!
