Avian Light Fixtures

Neri&Hu's Yanzi Lights Look Like Caged Birds

— April 14, 2017 — Art & Design
Neri&Hu's Yanzi lights are fixtures that recognize the importance of nature when it comes to lighting one's home. Much ink gets spilled in praise of lighting one's home with so-called natural light -- i.e. sunlight that comes through windows, skylights, et cetera. Rather than offering natural light in that sense, Neri&Hu's Yanzi lights instead come as light that looks natural, because the light fixtures and bulbs are designed to look like birds perched in cages.

Yanzi, which was unveiled at Milan design week, consists of a range of lighting options, each of which is meant to look like a bird. These lights include floor lamps, table lamps, and pendants. They are crafted from steel rods that make up the perches, brushed brass to represent the birds' bodies, and the spherical bulbs that represent the heads.
Trend Themes
1. Nature-inspired Lighting - The trend of nature-inspired lighting fixtures offers opportunities for businesses to create innovative designs that mimic elements of the natural world.
2. Creative Light Fixture Designs - The trend of creative light fixture designs provides opportunities for businesses to develop unique and visually striking lighting options that stand out in the market.
3. Functional Artistic Lighting - The trend of functional artistic lighting allows businesses to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal, offering disruptive innovation opportunities for those who can blend art and design with practical lighting solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry can capitalize on the trend of nature-inspired lighting by creating a wide range of products that bring elements of the natural world into people's homes.
2. Interior Design - The interior design industry can leverage the trend of creative light fixture designs to offer clients unique and visually appealing lighting solutions that enhance the overall aesthetic of a space.
3. Lighting Manufacturing - The lighting manufacturing industry can take advantage of the trend of functional artistic lighting by developing innovative designs that combine artistry with practicality, offering customers lighting fixtures that are both functional and visually captivating.
