Mr. Tubes is a type of lighting system designed for Masimo by the artist Anton de Groof. The design takes on an industrial look, due to the darker steel beams that the lighting system is attached to, making it perfect for placement in loft-like abodes that are going for this aesthetic.

The lighting is meant to be hung from the ceiling, and comes with shades on each that can help control just how bright everything is. Another great feature of this is how the lighting is versatile, and could be used in a retail space, as well as in someone's home. As long as one is going for this industrial look, the Mr. Tubes lights should serve well for this decor.
