The Caterplight light fixtures by Singapore-based designer Bacus Boo are indeed somewhat creepy-looking. The lamps, clearly inspired by a caterpillar, and perhaps also a woolly bear, have been manufactured by Bomania DesignworX in both floor and pendant models.

The pendant version, even more metaphorical with its twisting shape, looks like the insect has been caught in the act of spinning its cocoon.

Here’s an excerpt of a poem written by the designer which inspired the CaterpLight:

“Black and fiery, to hunt in hurry. Take a walk up the shady stalk. When prey comes by, it spins or dies. Till death imply to reborn as a butterfly. Caterpillar will never take its flight.” (designspotter)
