Beyond the installation of a simple lightbulb, a brilliant way to really provide visual stimulation in a room is to integrate a Dodeck Lamp into its decor. The eccentric light fixture comprises a bare globe at its core, hanging from an electrical cord and embraced by a curiously complex structure.

This [geometric lattice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caleide) is made up of little [Y-shaped pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stak-modular-lamp) of recycled cardboard, manufactured in a variety of vivid colors. They are simply slotted together to produce utterly intriguing forms that make up the LX and the M models of the pendant lamp that are sold through the Merge Shop.

Beholding the Dodeck Lamp alone is certainly a captivating sight, but the effect it has on the room is perhaps even more fascinating. Ineffective as a proper lampshade, the [intricate sculpture casts incredible shadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light) on the ceiling, the walls and the floor.
