Drawing a strong influence from the [Grundtvig Church located in Copenhagen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekko-chair), the duo applied the intricate [architecture design of arches and curvatures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-collection) into the design of the lamp collection. Although the inspiration is dated back to almost a century ago, the ARC collection exudes urban contemporary aesthetics with its minimal details and neutral colors. The ARC collection features a wide range of lighting pieces that include a table lamp, wall lamp, pendant lamp and floor lamps. Every different type of lamp is covered with a [pleated white shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-silk-collection) and has a black-stained foundation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 12% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Architectural-inspired Lighting:** Opportunity for designers to draw inspiration from iconic architecture and incorporate it into lighting designs. - **Urban Contemporary Aesthetics:** Demand for minimalistic lighting designs with neutral colors and clean lines that fit modern urban environments. - **Pleated Shade Design:** Growing trend in using pleated shades in lighting designs for an elegant and textured look. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting Design:** Incorporating architectural elements into lighting designs opens up new opportunities for creative and visually appealing products. - **Interior Design:** Designers can leverage the urban contemporary aesthetics trend to create lighting that complements modern interior designs. - **Home Decor:** Pleated shade designs in lighting can be a unique selling point for home decor brands looking to offer distinctive and stylish products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maximalist Arched Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oblure.md) - [Ultra-Chic Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design.md) - [Artfully Functional Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chant.md) - [Seaside-Inspired Lamp Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nemo-lighting.md) - [Scenic Architecture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-inspired-table-lamp.md) - [Cosmic-Inspired Lamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aureole.md) - [Fluid Structural Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loja.md) - [Dynamic Artful Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-chandelier.md) - [Archetypal Conical Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragile-lamp.md)
