It takes the classic Type 75 [desk lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20) and gives it a fresh update with two new colors, Saxon Blue and the Seagrass. Both were added to complement the existing Yellow Ochre version. Launching during Paris Design Week, the colors speak to a softer side of the brand which will nevertheless appeal to both genders. That said, the Anglepoise x Margaret Howell collection may be releasing in the fall, but it has a very [spring-like aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-lamp). Stylish and functional, it is a product that the British fashion designer will be proud to have attached to her name. Although traditional, there's a modern aesthetic to the lamp that matches her own signature style as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 23% | 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fresh Lighting Looks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new and innovative designs that combine style and functionality in the lighting industry. - **Soft-sided Branding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products that appeal to both genders by incorporating softer colors and aesthetics. - **Modern Traditionalism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Blend traditional and modern design elements to create unique and appealing products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce fresh lighting looks that enhance the overall ambiance and style of interior spaces. - **Fashion and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to create stylish and functional products that reflect their signature aesthetic. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore modern traditionalism by offering home decor products that combine traditional and contemporary design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Geometric Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-on-desk.md) - [Dynamic Sculptural Task Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haworth.md) - [Demure Designer Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-desk-lamp.md) - [Architecturally Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-2022-lighting.md) - [Minimalist Workstation Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-lamp-concept.md) - [Streetlamp-Inspired Workstation Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-ode-desk-lamp.md) - [Minimal Elongated Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silk-grey.md) - [Archetypal Conical Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragile-lamp.md) - [Portable Cordless Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonjour-unplugged.md)
