This quirky collection of [versatile home lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi), from Estonian design company KEHA3, feels almost futuristic with its industrial ventilation pipe-inspired aesthetic look.

Designed by Margus Tribmann, the 'Throat Lamp' is made from a [flexible metal spring body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape) that has been covered in a polyurethane coating. The ventilation pipe body of the lamp can be moved around and adjusted depending on the user's preference for both the look and direction of the light.

When combined together, these [industrial-inspired lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pose-lighting) begin to take on a whole new look and feel. The lamp seems to protrude outwards from its surface as if it is gazing into the room with a sense of purpose, and almost seems to watch its surroundings with an alien-like sense of awareness.
