Net Gains: 5 Fishing Baskets as Sculptural Lights

May 27, 2015

Call it net gains: Mesh and bamboo fish traps–and weavings inspired by them–make sculptural, softly glowing pendant lights. And you can create your own.

Above: A souvenir from Culburra House, a beachside rental in New South Wales, Australia, the Fish Trap Light Shade is for sale in two sizes: $135 AUD ($104.67 USD) for the small, and $700 AUD ($542.73 USD) for the large, shown. (For lights similar in feel, see Nelson Sepulveda’s designs at Home Stories in Brooklyn.)
