The Acorn Rope Light is a unique [ceiling lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-light) that has a refined rustic feel about it. Clustered in a set of three, the 'acorns' bypass the production effort normally put into traditional weaving techniques. Instead, it follows a simpler construction in which the [rope used for the lampshade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-lighting) is simply wrapped around the shape of a bottle and then stiffened to keep its form.

Created by Vasiliy Butenko, a designer based in Kyiv, Ukraine, the Acorn Rope Light may be a simple manufacturing job, but it certainly does not look it. Instead, it is beautifully detailed, adding [character to living spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandscape-lighting). Especially great for kitchens and dining rooms, the Acorn Rope Light is currently available in two colors: black and brown.
