Carbon doesn't exactly sound like the most exciting thing to use when creating beautiful lighting, but Marcus Tremonto found a way. Using carbon rod the designer created Carbon 451 Lamp, a [beautiful folded looking light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp).

The Carbon 451 Lamp from Marcus Tremonto is a cool room centerpiece as it falls from the ceiling. It definitely makes me expect more from carbon rods, not that I put that much thought into it usually.

**Implications** - The fixture is extremely fantastical, and resembles [dripping liquid spilling from the ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warp-lamp) or a [falling folded ribbon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape). Plant this fabulous fixture in bland living rooms or ordinary offices to stop people in their tracks. It will definitely lighten up your life with whimsy and, well, light.
