When the light is off, it remains a functional piece of decor that can suit a home, an event or an office space. The elegant versatility of the light is that it can be hung overhead as a [chandelier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier), illuminate kitchen counters or even be a beautiful addition to bedroom lighting. The lampshade is a piece of fabric paneling draped across a horizontal LED light bulb-beam. This creates the image of a curtain. The bottom of the curtain shade is another horizontal light bulb-beam to express light from both ends of the lamp. The curtain-inspired light is available with three different curtain shade lengths. Multiple lights can be combined to create an interesting piece of furniture.
