Maisie Maud Broadhead's Cable Art

Here at Unplggd we often extol the virtues of hiding cables and wires. Normally this is the preferred aim in creating a visually satisfying space, one devoid of visible hardware and cable clutter. But artist Maisie Maud Broadhead has found a way to incorporate the cable of a lamp into the decor of a space in most impressive fashion that actually adds to aesthetics!

Cable Drawings by Maisie Maud Broadhead is a series of installations created with wire flex and cable fixings. A fantastic idea...we're now looking at our CAT-5 cables in a whole new light.

Genius! I have an unsightly cable i the hallway that I had no idea what to do with. This could totally work.

I love the idea--We live in old on-post housing and have huge lengths of cable in the living room and bedrooms(or we can push it back through the wall into the backyard) so I'll have to try something like this!

On another note--the cord for that lamp is SUPER long.
