# Extravagent Pipe Installations Asylum Creates a Pipe Covered in Colorful Gems By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asylum References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/asylum-crystal-led-pipe-light-installation-08-11-2014/) & [asylumsfx](http://www.asylumsfx.com/) Asylum is in the process of creating a pipe covered with multiple gems, which is intended to go into a construction room for a pop of ingenuity. The piece looks more like something from the future than an artwork to help elevate the look of an interior. Asylum is a technology firm, and they have put their minds together to come up with a strategy for this installation to work. To do this, LED bulbs have been used with a cylinder pipe and attached carefully so that the owners will be able to adjust the colors and brightness of the installation. The result is a stunning piece of pipework that looks anything but industrial, taking on an elegant and artistic feel.
