Decorating with electric cables

Decorating with electric cables

How many times we happen to furnish an apartment and realize that lights, wall lights and lamps are not the right place?

If it is not a project designed and tailored to the sizes and characteristics of a given environment, it is normal, that changing needs, or even going deeper to the base, changing tenants, also change tastes and choices.

And the flying wires are never appreciated. They give the idea of temporary, unfinished.

Not everyone, however. Many people revise these objects to have a considerable aesthetic value, simply combine them with a color, a finish, just like any other piece of furniture.

Some time ago we saw how many designers and planners in the field of light, have intervened on the choice of the shade, favoring red as the favorite. Lamps like Trilli, Bulb and Block, with the minimal shape, often transparent, but accentuated by the use of colored electric cable.

Choose the color of the cable. Choose the shape and the finish of the light bulb. And you're done.

The cables are insulated with two layers of PVC and are covered by a flexible fabric. The finishes are really a lot and they are available in single color or even with a zig zag pattern.

While for light bulbs, you can choose between several finishes of the glass: matt, polished or half mirror surface.

For those who are lazy, there is also a section kit, with a range of packages that include a cable of 1 meter in fabric and a bakelite lamp holder with all accessories for assembly.

Also just out of curiosity, it is worth taking a look at the site.
