Is that a soccer ball? That's what caused our double-take when we first saw Rainer Spehl's Coming Home light. We love how this light is indeed shaped like a soccer ball but actually transcends the form to create beautiful lighting.
Coming Home is made of PVC and suede, allowing a very diffuse light to pass through the shade. Still not sure about sporting gear hanging from your ceiling? Just take a look at it hanging in this grouping:

It'd be great with the basketball net lamp posted earlier this week.
I [heart] the soccerball light. To me, that's a total hole-in-one...er, goal!
Wow. There is an artist I've seen in Seattle who litteraly does the exact same thing, except with porcelen and fiberoppic lights. Is there just no such thing as an origional idea?
