The <a href="http://inhabitat.com/bic-ballpoint-pen-chandelier/" target="_self">hanging pen light</a> is also available in a smaller pendant version as well as a table lamp, and all three are available in a range of colors that vary depending on the type of pens used. The chandelier can be constructed from either orange or clear pens, although we much prefer the shining reflections cast by the translucent fixture.
