Expressive Desk Illuminators

Face Light Adds a Colorful Personality to Your Home

— July 23, 2011 — Art & Design
Among the many lights that I've seen, none are quite as expressive as the Face Light designed by Bora CAKILKAYA.

The whole concept behind the Face Light is to make something that's fun and lighthearted. Bora CAKILKAYA has certainly done that with this incredible creation featuring expressive faces that many are familiar with in the world of Internet expressions. Each of the lights features an emotion with a cartoon aesthetic that makes it all the more fun to look at. The faces that have been made so far include a smiley face, a sad face and a devilish face complete with the devil horns. I'm not too sure how I would feel about having Satan snarling at me on the desk, but it's a fun design to have around the home nonetheless.
