Absolutely inspired, the Ron Gilad Wallpiercing lights are like nothing I have ever seen before. It's no surprise that they won best [wall lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-wall-light) at the Wallpaper* magazine 2011 awards.

Designed for Flo, the Ron Gilad Wallpiercing lights look just like body piercings. Sexy yet sophisticated, they are made out of eco-friendly materials and feature [LED lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drape-light). Radiating inwards, the light generated is soft and subtle. What I love in particular is the various patterns you can make with this light.
