The glass used by Leucos Lighting of Italy is bent, curved, etched and stained to make a collection of lighting that is perfect for the modern home or office. Leucos has been around since 1962 and focuses their development on moving light through glass in an artistic and innovative way. European design teams up with contemporary sophistication with Leucos.
Implications - Although contemporary home design primarily features cold, minimalist aesthetic cues, interior product designers are increasingly taking cues from the environment to create pieces inspired by Mother Nature's sinuous curves. This functional decor and furniture doubles as modern art -- a boon to those who live in spaces with limited square footage.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Nature-inspired Lighting
- Designers are creating lighting inspired by Mother Nature's curves, doubling as modern art.
- Glass Bending Technology
- The art of bending, curving, etching, and staining glass is a disruptive innovation opportunity for home and office decor.
- Functional Art
- The trend towards experimental, practical design is resulting in a new era of functional art that is challenging the concept of what art and design can be.
Sectors Adopting This
- Lighting Industry
- The lighting industry could adapt glass-bending techniques to create unique, nature-inspired lighting fixtures.
- Home Decor Industry
- The home decor industry can benefit from a trend towards functional art and nature-inspired designs, offering consumers innovative products that are both beautiful and useful.
- Furniture Industry
- The furniture industry can incorporate nature-inspired designs and wind energy in their designs to create a new wave of green designs.
