# Deceptively Pleated Lighting The Aeon Rocket by Morten Voss is Both Simple and Dramatic By Meghan Young | Published 2014-02-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeon-rocket References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/02/05/aeon-rocket-by-morten-voss-for-lightyears/) & [vco.dk](http://www.vco.dk/main.html) Overall, the design of the Aeon Rocket pendant light is minimalist. The clean lines and contemporary aesthetic makes it perfect for just about any living or office space. Yet there is a lot more going on that the Aeon Rocket's sleek surface would have people believe. Its underbelly is full of a deceptively pleated detail that is revealed to be much more when view directly from below instead of from the side. Designed by Morten Voss for the manufacturer Lightyears, the Aeon Rocket pendant light is made out of metal and polypropylene, combining the two to take full advantage of their luminous qualities. The bottom portion boasts a gauzy concentric pattern that is anchored by the aluminum top. The Aeon Rocket is available in two sizes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Deceptive Lighting:** Opportunities for incorporating dynamic designs that create an illusion of simplicity with unexpected complexity. - **Mixing Materials:** Exploring the possibilities of combining various materials to take full advantage of their unique properties in lighting design. - **Concentric Patterns:** Integrating concentric patterns into lighting design to create an intriguing visual effect. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Incorporating deceptively pleated lighting options to refresh home and office spaces. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Taking inspiration from combining materials to create unique and dynamic lighting designs. - **Architecture:** Integrating concentric patterns in both exterior and interior lighting designs as a point of interest for buildings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horizontal Glass Sphere Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant.md) - [Minimally Designed Ethereal Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass.md) - [Eclipse-Inspired Whimsical Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-traveler.md) - [Origami-Inspired Suspended Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sora-pendant-light.md) - [Curved Pendant Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-light.md) - [Stealthy Pendant Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warp-lamp.md) - [Otherworldly Lighting Fixture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-lighting-fixture.md) - [Astro-Inspired Sculptural Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara-suspension.md) - [Volcanic Rock Light Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-parallel-black-collection.md)
