The Skull Chandelier might not be for everyone, but if you are a lover of anatomy, Halloween or simply lead a relatively Goth lifestyle, than this light fixture is just for you. Clearly painstakingly created, it features a huge number of strung-up light bulbs that stunningly form a human skull, hence its name.
Created by Kelly Lamb, who is a L.A.-based multimedia artist and designer and is represented by Areaware in New York City, the Skull Chandelier is more of an art piece than an everyday light fixture for the home. In fact, the Skull Chandelier looks as though it is falling in slow motion thanks to the streaks created by the string holding the shape in place.
