If you ever dreamed of turning Davey Jones' face from 'Pirates of the Caribbean' into a lamp, then these terrifying tentacle lights are for you. Creatures with tentacles are inherently creepy, but for some reason, designers find them incredibly fascinating. This fascination has led to a slew of lighting fixtures inspired by the ocean's tentacled creatures.
These terrifying tentacle lights put function over form, but that's not to say that they don't look amazing. Despite their inherent creepiness, these lamps, chandeliers and candelabras are hard to turn away from. Perhaps its the world's lack of tentacle-inspired design, but there's just something about these lights that commands your attention. If you're a fan of the sea, then you'll want to spend some time slithering your way through all of these terrifying tentacle lights.
