Hang-Up Light
- Designed by: Anthony Cleary, Ina Koenig
- Made by: Unleaded
- More Info: unleaded.ie
It may look like the right spot to stow your coat, but this light is only meant to evoke a hanger's shape, not its function. The brushed stainless steel and chrome structure and low watt, naked bulb will cast simple shadows as crisp as a freshly-pressed button-down. Email Ina and Anthony directly via their site for shipping options to the US.

It's too bad that more of these fixtures are not made with LED lights. LED bulbs can be just a little bigger than a pencil eraser, very bright, and really cheap to power. The size alone is a real advantage as far as integrating the actual light source into the fixture.
