The Tafelstukken Cappellini lighting collection has an [industrial look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape) that will surely add character to any home. Quirky and full of personality, they actually look like prime [Pixar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-creator-ambassador-program) characters, if you ask me. Yet in addition to their adorable hunched frames, the Tafelstukken Cappellini [table lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-lamp) are doubly useful.

Created by Netherlands-based designers Daphna Isaacs and Laurens Manders, the Tafelstukken Cappellini lighting collection also provides convenient storage spaces below each bulb and shade. Shaped like a fruit bowl or platter, these storage spaces are roomy enough to hold just about anything. Considering how versatile each lamp in the Tafelstukken Cappellini collection looks, this is definitely a good thing. It can be placed anywhere from a tool room to a kitchen.
