# Adjustable Tab Illuminators The 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp Lets You Freely Configure the Light Source By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3x3-mach-9-pendant-lamp References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/02/28/good-things-come-in-three/) & [bernd-unrecht-lights.de](http://www.bernd-unrecht-lights.de/bul_engl_collection.html) It's a curious design, that of the 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp. The fixture comprises a cylindrical ceiling mount, a suspended cylindrical hub and a collection of nine individual components that emit a white glow. Looking like little magnifying glasses, the flat OLED "lightbulbs" slide into the slots around the hub to create a continuous ring of illumination. Bernd Unrecht named this ceiling light after the three sets of three disks that distribute its bright beams. The slits in which they're secured are broader than the penetrating tabs, enabling the user to shift each radiant round element about. This adaptability affects the size and arrangement of the 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp's individual sources. The result is the freedom to create different shapes, shadows and spotlighting effects that could enhance the ambiance of a room. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Adjustable Lighting:** The 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp is an example of adjustable lighting, indicating that customers are seeking customizable lighting solutions. - **Flexible Light Sources:** The flat OLED lightbulbs on the 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp indicate that flexible light sources are a growing trend. - **Ambiance Enhancement:** The emphasis on creating different shapes, shadows, and spotlighting effects with the 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp suggests a growing trend towards lighting designed to enhance the ambiance of a space. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** The adjustable, customizable lighting of the 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp could be used by designers to create unique lighting solutions in interior design projects. - **Smart Home:** Flexible light sources like those found in the 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp could be integrated into smart home lighting systems, expanding the potential applications of this technology. - **Event Planning:** Lighting can have a major impact on the atmosphere of events and the ability to customize the lighting of the 3x3 Mach 9 Pendant Lamp suggests it could be used in event planning to create unique lighting effects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stacked Illuminator Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konnect-pendant-light.md) - [Ultra-Customized Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kala-lamp.md) - [Customizable Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilight-r9-desk-lamp.md) - [Modular Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplat.md) - [Customizable Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-magnetic-lamp.md) - [Elegant Axis-Mounted Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendulum-lamp.md) - [Customizable Industrial Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi-modular-lamp.md) - [Interconnecting Component Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-lamp.md) - [Unconventional Modular Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-kaleido-series.md)
