Swiss designer Francis Chabloz has come up with a rather unique piece of lighting. Titled Shark, this pendant light is like no other. Taking on the shape of the ferocious waterbound creature for which it's named, Francis Chabloz's Shark is monstrous in its own right. Francis Chabloz's Shark light looks like a glistening, futuristic reincarnation of Jaws.
What really makes this Francis Chabloz creation stand out, other than the distinct shape it takes, is its massive size. The Shark pendant is as big as a full-grown person. Completely covered in LEDs, this huge piece of lighting will add a big splash of unique character to any room it's hung in, but it might be hard to find a spot to put this wicked pendant lamp.
