# Circus-Inspired Ring Lights Resident's Circus Pendant Lights Connect Endlessly By Joey Haar | Published 2017-04-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circus-pendant References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2017/04/14/resident-circus-pendants-connect-together-never-ending-chain-light-milan-design-week-2017/) & [resident.co.nz](https://resident.co.nz/lighting/pendant-lights/circus-light-medium) New Zealand-based design brand Resident has created a set of lights called the Circus pendant. Designed to link together like a chain, the pendant light fixture could theoretically extend infinitely, giving consumers the ability to shape and extend their pendant as they see fit. As far as the circus goes, one of the most iconic images is the ring. Of course, the classical circus was defined by how many rings it opened, and even certain circus purveyors named themselves after the shape (like the Ringling Brothers.) Resident's Circus pendant takes inspiration from a different part of the circus, though: the magic show. The rings that make up the light fixture interlock like the instantly recognizable magic act props, though Resident's rings aren't likely to magically disconnect from one another. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Lighting:** Resident's Circus pendant lights that can extend infinitely provide an opportunity for modular lighting solutions. - **Customized Lighting Solutions:** The ability to shape and extend the pendant lights gives consumers the ability to create their own customized lighting solutions. - **Sustainable Lighting Fixtures:** The interlocking design of the Circus pendant lights encourages a sustainable way to create lighting fixtures with minimal waste and maximum flexibility. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting and Fixtures:** The modular and customizable design of Resident's Circus pendant lights can disrupt the lighting and fixtures industry by offering unique solutions for commercial and residential spaces. - **Architecture and Interior Design:** The unique design of the Circus pendant lights can offer architects and interior designers opportunities to create customized lighting solutions that fit their projects perfectly. - **Sustainable Design:** The interlocking design of the lights allows for minimal waste, offering a sustainable approach to lighting design and production, creating disruptive innovation opportunities within the sustainable design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Encapsulated Semi-Transparent Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nested-pendant-light.md) - [Enchanting Hanging Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hf-series.md) - [Metaphorically Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bilanciato-pendants.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Hanging Connected Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pendant-light.md) - [Dazzling Polyhedral Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puff-pendant-lights.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant-light.md) - [Domino-Inspired Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domino-pendant.md)
