Rustic Light Fixtures

The Manila Rope Lights by Atelier 688 Look Fit for a Pirate's Ship

— May 19, 2011 — Art & Design
Although the Manila Rope Lights might not fit into everyone's existing decor, I know one thing for sure, it will in mine. Rustic, unique and full of character, this pendent light fixture is something I can't wait to get my hands on.

Designed by Toronto-based Atelier 688, the Manila Rope Lights are cleverly fashioned out of a real 12-foot section of manila rope. Of course, the length can be customized per customer's request. Nevertheless, for 12 feet, the price is set at a whopping $350. Yet, considering how intriguing it looks and the detail it will bring to one's living space, the price is well worth it.

The Manila Rope Lights can be purchased in store or only at its Etsy shop.
