Perfect for home and office desks as well as spaces that require practical lighting rather than stylish ones, the Be Light offers [modular functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplat). Designed by Taiwanese company QisDesign, the Be Light does not only shift and shape into what is more optimal for you on a moment-by-moment basis, it also [folds down completely for easy portability](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grab-glow) and storage. It would be particularly handy for students to have the Be Light on hand for study dates in darkened corners of the library or study halls. What's more, the design would be particularly convenient for the trips back home in between semesters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modular Lighting:** Opportunities for modular lighting designs that offer easy and efficient portability and storage. - **Practical Lighting:** Opportunities for designs that prioritize practical lighting needs over aesthetic appeal. - **Flexible Lighting:** Opportunities for lighting designs that allow for easy shifting and shaping based on specific needs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** Opportunities for furniture companies to incorporate modular lighting designs into their product offerings. - **Office Supplies:** Opportunities for office supply companies to create practical and convenient lighting solutions for their customers. - **Education:** Opportunities for education institutions to provide portable and flexible lighting solutions for students studying in various locations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Storage-Friendly Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storage-lamp.md) - [Ultra-Flexible Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anywhereuse-lamp.md) - [Flexible Workstation Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archflex-desk-lamp.md) - [Three-in-One Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-lamp.md) - [Conical Multifunctional Lamp Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-light.md) - [Shape-Shifting Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi.md) - [Productive Mood Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teixeira-design-studio.md) - [Multifunctional Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boring-lamp.md) - [Dynamically Customizable Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illum-desk-light.md)
