You know when you go into a car enthusiast's house and nearly every piece of furniture or appliance is auto-inspired or made for the parts of a real vehicle? Yeah, that drives me nuts, but I do appreciate a piece of [fine craftsmanship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-x-flos) when I see it and Stuart Haygarth’s Tale Light chandelier is a shining example.

Made from unused [car truck and tractor tail lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-capsule-1), Haygarth cuts and molds them to shape, then fastens them to acrylic boxes to create these [futuristic looking Tale Light Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-transformation-lamp).
