# Artfully Liquid-Like Light Collections Laurids Gallée Introduces the Cairn Lamp Collection By Amy Duong | Published 2025-03-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2025/03/04/laurids-gallee-cairn-lighting-collection/) & [thecollectional](https://thecollectional.com/)  Local designer Laurids Gallée has presented a new range of lighting with the collection of Cairn lamps. This is comprised of [large resin lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass) which is made with collaborative efforts with design gallery Collectional as a part of the first Design Biennale Rotterdaem. The series highlights six new products dubbed Cairn, and it is made up of [large blocks of resin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nola-lamp) which has been sculpted, sanded, and polished to result in a clear liquid-like finish. Gallée explains, "The series explores how [light interacts with transparent materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light). More than shaping resin, I wanted to shape the way the light moves within the material. In some of my other light work I play with quickly moving parallel lines, which feels a bit psychedelic, but here, I wanted something calmer, where light feels almost liquid."
