# Junk Chandeliers Fancy Recycled Lighting Fixtures Turn Trashy Into Classy By John Charles | Published 2009-03-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-chandeliers-artist-warren-muller References: [bahdeebahdu](http://www.bahdeebahdu.com/) When I was growing up, the must interesting chandelier I ever saw was one made out of a wagon wheel. Artist Warren Muller is out to make sure others don’t have an equally deprived childhood. Using found materials, he creates amazing art pieces that serve as something far more that light fixtures. His work is also the subject of a new book: *WINK - A Retrospective Of The Life And Art Of Warren Muller.* ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycled Decor:** Creating high-end decor pieces from found or recycled materials through innovative design and craftsmanship. - **Sustainable Lighting:** Producing eco-friendly lighting solutions using recycled materials and energy-efficient technology. - **Artisanal Lighting:** Hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind lighting fixtures that serve as unique works of art in addition to illuminating a space. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Exploring upcycling techniques and sustainability to create environmentally-friendly and unique decor pieces. - **Lighting:** Innovating energy-efficient and sustainably-sourced materials to create unique and artful lighting options. - **Retail:** Offering innovative and artistic lighting designs to customers looking for one-of-a-kind pieces for their homes or businesses. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jewel-Inspired Chandelier Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-chandelier.md) - [Brick Puzzle Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antique-chandelier.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md) - [Dynamic Hand-Blown Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris.md) - [Metal-Glass Intuitive Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salsa-chandelier.md) - [Maximalist Chandelier Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-harry-nuriev.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linea-selva.md)
