This umbrella-shaped street lamp by London designer Samuel Wilkinson has a crystal-covered canopy. Installed on a corner of Old Street in London, the 4.5-metre-tall Ommatidium sculpture features 1,500 faceted crystal lenses and is named after the individual parts that make up the compound eyes of many insects.
