I see a light in your future and it's the Bat-Yam Biennale 'Skylight!' Headed by Ani Levi, Iftach Friedman, Yasha Goman and Eyal Yona Segev, this [lighting project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design) truly lit up the world and sky with a simple concept. Literally a [giant lantern attached to a crane](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-lantern-1), the light was designed to light up construction sites in a new and innovative way.

Whether a company adopts a clear and simple method of merely producing a [larger-than-life version of an everyday object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-lamp) or developing a new take on an item, businesses can easily incorporate innovative techniques into any commodity.
