The original function of these wire cages were to protect light bulbs used in workshops and/or factories. But, they have found their way into our interiors.
Left in their natural state, these lights add an obvious touch of industrial to a space. In their more recent reincarnations, cage lights get an elegant update with color and fancy finishes.

Surprisingly in this collection, I think I like the cheapest one from Hope Depot the best!
Me likey …. and it’s so european too 🙂
they kind of remind me of a dark horror movie for some reason. but in a good way!
I love cage lights! Great selection! Also love that the upholstery on the second pictures is made out of coffee bags (sacks?). Maybe that would be a great idea for the next class 😉
…not a bad idea at all.
I do like them, but how often do you see a picture of one switched on? Because generally they don’t look too good on, they often glare too brightly. Or what do you think?
Love the cage lamps, and they come in all kinds:) Great collection!
I wasn’t sure how I felt about these initially but they have really grown on me! I actually prefer the cheapie too!
These are great. I’m going through a ‘lighting’ phase at the moment – there are so many gorgeous ones around that I’m wanting to replace all the ones in our home. Love the 1st pic with the globe too. xxx
I like the look of these lamps but not the glare of the exposed bulbs. Funny enough, I like the mid-price lamp with the exposed bulb best. If I bought one I would have to not turn it on or get the silver tipped bulb. 🙂
I’m loving this trend…especially the various price points! xo

I have to say, I based this post purely on a trend I have been noticing. But thank you so much for pointing out the glare issue these lamps seem to have
