Light as art


Lights are excellent vehicles for design.
While I love the debutant-decorum and traditional style I grew up with in the south, I'm still heavily interested in modern art and design. Competing styles are no longer mutually exclusive. We're not charicatures, we're allowed to have many different interests which can be reflected in our surroundings. I really think art belongs everywhere and can present itself in many forms from your own kids' work to an end table. Most people I know who splurged a little on light fixtures are very happy. These pendants from 2Bmod and DWR can bring a sense of design to any landscape while still performing their function.
