Whether it’s down to the growing trend towards sculptural lighting or an increased need for flexible solutions, we’ve noticed that cords and cables are steadily becoming something of a functional focal point. From pendants that play with suspension to wall lights with striking feature flexes, lighting designers are starting to incorporate this trend in innovative and imaginative ways.
"In my view, lighting solutions like this can function as independent art objects: they shape the atmosphere and define the spatial identity, eliminating the need for additional wall decor," says interior designer Natalia Tuganova, who installed a Flos String Light Cone pendant in a recent project for exactly this reason.
