Spine lamps have split my mind into two: On one hand, they look amazing; on the other, they’re a bit twisted and not great to have in your bedroom to inspire nightmare-free dreams.

[Anatomical lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design) is not an uncommon idea, but [Street Anatomy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nineteen-wells-street) managed to pull together three of the best designs out there. I am not sure why, but seeing the [spine in gold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serpente-lamp) really sends shivers down mine.

**Implications** - In the last few years, contemporary society has placed an increased importance on originality and ingenuity in design and fashion. A company can capitalize on this by developing a product that is both practical and novel. By providing consumers with an alternative to the standard everyday product, the company stands a good chance of attracting customers seeking a little spice and difference in their lives.
