Getting the Hang of It

No matter how cheery we think we are, let’s admit it, we all have our morbid fascinations. It’s like looking at gory accident scenes, that even if it makes us sick, we just need to take a peek. But how about having that sense of morbid right in your living room? Wouldn’t that be something?

And that something are in fact lighting fixtures that are made to resemble a hangman’s noose. The fixtures, which are aptly called Noose Lights are the from the fanciful mind of designer by Ana-Maria Pasescu Stewart. Made of tough ropes with the power cable woven in the middle, with the height easily manipulated by a metal pulley for that touch of realness.

For sure, these noose lights would be the conversation piece for many dinner parties to come, and who knows it just might come handy one of these days. But we’re not giving you any ideas… ;)

    Hi Ana! Let me just say, it’s wonderful that you visited our site, we’re likewise glad that you liked what we had written. The lights certainly take a little getting used to, but there’s definitely wit and humor in it, and that’s what we’re loving. :) Please feel free to drop us a line if you want us to feature your designs. Thanks!

    Cheers,

    This project shows an astounding lack of imagination.

    It takes incredibly sensitive imagery and deals with it in an utterly banal way under the pretence of being shocking. Teenagers often come up with similar ideas, but the level of creative thought here is at best childlike.

    Why was the designer so rushed to put what looks like a photoshop image into the mass media? Perhaps for the same reason teenagers want attention?
