The 'Luzy' lamps have been designed by Germany-based industrial designer Ingo Maurer as a somewhat obscure approach to hanging illuminators that are sure to garner attention when integrated into a space.
Made from plastic gloves, the lights have been wired with lightbulbs that hang from the tips of the glove fingers to create a very unorthodox look that can be hung or placed anywhere. The lights come in black and blue color options with varying numbers of bulbs on the fingertips, ranging from one to five.
The 'Luzy' lamps infuse a clinical aesthetic into a space that is sure to be a hit with consumers who want to take a different approach to home decor that has a found object feeling.
