# Op Art-Inspired Lights These Adjustable Lamps Create Optical Illusions with Overlapping Sections By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-11-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adjustable-lamps References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/pendant-lamp-inspired-op-art/) & [luisarrivillaga](http://www.luisarrivillaga.com/) These spherical adjustable lamps hang from the ceiling while casting different shadows from an overlapping mesh pattern. The [pendant lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp) are designed by Luis Arivillaga, who was inspired by the famous op artist, Victor Vasarely. The caged ball is made from long black wires that wrap around to meet each other's ends. Against a white wall, the lamp appears to be a striped object that is similar to typical [optical illusion art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical). The balls are made from two half spheres that can be adjusted in many ways from a full sphere to half, and anywhere in between. The black adjustable lamps hang from a bright red string, giving the lighting a very unique style that is meant to be a statement piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Op Art:** Op Art-inspired lights create optical illusions with overlapping sections. - **Adjustable Lamps:** Spherical adjustable lamps offer opportunities for custom lighting experiences. - **Optical Illusions:** Designing lighting fixtures that create optical illusions adds an element of intrigue to spaces. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Innovative lighting fixtures can enhance the aesthetics of interior spaces. - **Home Decor:** Op Art-inspired lights can be a unique addition to home decor collections. - **Art and Design:** Exploring optical illusions in lighting design blurs the line between art and functional objects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Illusion Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt.md) - [Illusory Multidimensional Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-light.md) - [Artistic Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scacco-matto-lamp.md) - [Delicate Illusory Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-light.md) - [Relaxing Optical Illusion Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novatropes.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Glowing Tubular Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/array-lighting.md) - [Sculptural Metal Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape.md)
