Entitled ‘Ray,’ the line uses the mesh material to create a [patterned light effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drape-light) throughout any room. The lights come in a variety of color combinations, from a lamp with a blue base and burnt-orange mesh to a brighter yellow and pink mix. No matter the color, these swinging lamps will brighten up your home or office with awesome light designs. Light is a very important factor to consider when you’re redecorating any space. Kral’s pendant lamps not only provide enough light, but also diffuse it in fresh and creative ways. Kral also gets major points for repurposing the [metallic material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreshadow-table-lamp) in such a fun manner.
