Decorative Stepladder Illuminators

Ladder Lights Climb Walls as Pretty and Practical Accessories

— October 8, 2013 — Art & Design
In the Ladder Light, there is proof that designers can ascend from the more conventional types of contemporary lighting fixtures. This creative product functions in the place of a floor lamp, a pendant lamp and a table lamp, and it doesn't even appear to be a typical wall light.

The MSDS Studio designers aimed to dream up a product that would be as elegant as a piece of jewelry, yet it would become an adornment to dress up a room. The resultant item seems to suspend from the wall like a beautiful necklace.

Polished metal bars form the rungs of the Ladder Light, casing diffuse illumination through their upper- and undersides. The lit-up ledges are carefully spaced and fixed by soft straps on either side for aesthetic rhythm and repetition.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-functional Lighting Fixtures - Designers and manufacturers have opportunities to develop and market creative lighting fixtures that can serve multiple functions.
2. Decorative Wall Lights - There is a growing trend towards wall lights that also function as decorative elements to dress up a room.
3. Jewelry-inspired Lighting - There is an opportunity for designers to create elegant lighting fixtures inspired by jewelry, for aesthetic appeal and as adornments for homes and buildings.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Interior designers can use ladder lights and other multi-functional lighting fixtures in their designs to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of a space.
2. Lighting Manufacturing - There is an opportunity for lighting manufacturers to create and market ladder lights and other multi-functional lighting fixtures that offer unique design and functionality.
3. Home Decor Retail - Retailers can tap into the demand for decorative wall lights and multi-functional lighting fixtures by offering ladder lights and other innovative products in their home decor collections.
