Stingray-Inspired Lighting

The Manta 2.0 Lamp by Joeri Claeys Brings a Touch of the Ocean Home

— June 4, 2013 — Art & Design
Sea creatures have long been a source of inspiration for home decor, especially light fixtures, and the Manta 2.0 lamp proves why. Inspired by the curving lines of the large stingray, it provides a soft illumination that will brighten up any room while bringing a taste of the ocean to living spaces as well. Not to mention that the Manta 2.0 lamp's sleek and simple silhouette will complement just about any existing decor.

Designed by Joeri Claeys, the Manta 2.0 lamp is crafted out of bent three millimeter iron lacquered in white. As Plus Mood notes, it casts "a beautiful atmospheric light and mysterious shadow." It is this quality that will stimulate people's creativity and imagination.
Trend Themes
1. Sea Creature-inspired Lighting - The Manta 2.0 Lamp showcases the potential for designs inspired by sea creatures to bring a touch of the ocean into the home.
2. Bent Iron Material Usage - The use of bent, lacquered iron in the Manta 2.0 Lamp's construction could be a disruptive innovation opportunity for other lighting manufacturers.
3. Atmospheric Lighting - The Manta 2.0 Lamp's ability to cast mysterious shadows and create a beautiful atmosphere could lead to a trend for more mood-based lighting designs.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Home decor companies could take advantage of the trend of sea creature-inspired lighting by introducing more products, like the Manta 2.0 Lamp, into their product lines.
2. Lighting Manufacturing - The use of bent, lacquered iron in the Manta 2.0 Lamp's construction could be adopted by other lighting manufacturers to create more unique and creative designs.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers could explore the trend of atmospheric lighting, like that of the Manta 2.0 Lamp, in order to create more impactful and mood-based environments for clients.
