If you wish there was a way to dress up that one bare light bulb hanging in your home, then you need to check out Hang on Easy. Hang on Easy is a light bulb cover made out of see-through polypropylene that instantly turns the bare bulbs in your house into soft and stylish lighting fixtures.
Hang on Easy was created by Ransmeier & Floyd and is currently being sold on the Droog design store for $134. As a starving college student, I can't necessarily afford to own a Hang on Easy of my own, but I still love the idea behind this design. Why purchase and install a new lighting fixture when you can just dress up an old bulb? You can check out Ransmeier & Floyd's design here, along with a ton of other innovative illuminators from the Trend Hunter archives.
