Light Forest | ||
 | Designed by: Ontwerp Duo Why we love it: We spotted these guys at last year’s imm Cologne. The Light Forest is a modular lighting system that resembles New York underground pipe work, with lowered trumpet-like lights. Perfect for that games room, or to make the garage more than just a garage. Where you can get it: Ontwerp Duo (currently no stockist in the Region, but definitely worth asking!)
