# Bare-Boned Ceiling Lights The Aki Lamp by Studio Dreimann Was Inspired by a Leafy Canopy By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aki-lamp1 References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2012/06/18/aki-lamp-by-studio-dreimann-for-itre/) & [studiodreimann](http://www.studiodreimann.com/) Although it might not be discernible at the get-go, the Aki Lamp was inspired by a [leafy canopy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light). The overall shape does resemble a large leaf while the inner lines can be likened to its veins. Beautiful in a bare-boned sort of way, the Aki Lamp is perfect for just about any space, in the home or at the office. The Aki Lamp was designed by [Studio Dreimann](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avro-pendant-lamp), a firm based in Hannover, Germany. Created for lighting manufacturer ITRE, it was specifically made with large-scale conference rooms in mind. The Aki Lamp is made to reside over a large table, and not the kind found in dining rooms. Lightweight and delicate-looking, it is [CNC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundlink-plus) milled and has six small recesses for the LED strips. The Aki Lamp emits a bright, warm light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 29% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Leafy-inspired Lighting:** There is an opportunity to create more lighting fixtures that mimic the organic design of leaves. - **Minimalist Design:** The use of simple lines in design is becoming more popular, creating an opportunity to develop more minimalist lighting options like the Aki Lamp. - **Large-scale Lighting Fixtures:** There is a growing demand for lighting fixtures that can adequately illuminate large spaces like conference rooms. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Interior designers could use leaf-inspired lighting fixtures like the Aki Lamp as a unique and eye-catching centerpiece in a room. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Lighting manufacturers could capitalize on the trend of minimalist design by creating more simple and sleek lighting fixtures like the Aki Lamp. - **Corporate Offices:** The demand for large-scale lighting fixtures for conference rooms provides an opportunity for lighting manufacturers to sell their products to corporate offices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial Contemporary Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shop-light.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Japanese-Inspired Sculptureal Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-things.md) - [Zen Workstation Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonsai-desk-lamp.md) - [Portable Mushroom-Like Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ichi-table-lamp.md) - [Pine Wood-Inspired Minimal Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jakobsson.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Money Plant-Inspired Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pilea-lamp.md) - [Plant Pod-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light.md)
