The spider lamps by Brazilian brand Oficina Polvo and designer Bruno Freire utilize the unique anatomy of arachnids as the basis for the company's line of creepy furniture designs.
The fear of spiders is a common phobia that a lot people in the world have, but spiders possess an anatomy that's inspired all sorts of creations, from sugar cookies to super heroes and now lighting fixtures. The series of spider lamps by Freire feature long wooden legs that can be posed into all sorts of variations, which makes them the ideal furniture for fickle individuals. The spider-inspired fixtures were also created into various table sets -- because who doesn't want to be constantly reminded of spiders while eating meals?
