# Eco Cable Lights The Coil Lamp by Craighton Berman is Minimalist Design at Its Best By Matt Ho | Published 2011-06-09 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coil-lamp References: [wewastetime.wordpress](http://wewastetime.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/coil-lamp/) & [studio.craightonberman](http://studio.craightonberman.com/#971341/COIL-LAMP) Craighton Berman's Coil Lamp is one of those inventions that you will look at and say, "why didn't I think of that before?" The extremely clever and well-executed Coil Lamp helps reimagine minimalist design concepts and recycling. The lights are made entirely out of extension cords, making it truly amazing that it can hold itself up. Berman has a cut-out acrylic template with ridges that's strong enough to support the bulb and the cables for this to be possible. From what it looks like, Berman uses an eco compact fluorescent bulb with a plug-in adapter that has a socket for the cord to connect to. The Coil Lamp is extremely well thought out and it proves that while minimalist designs are simple, they can also be clever as well. Hopefully, this will inspire other designers to create similar products that are eco-friendly, simple and stylish at the same time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative ways to incorporate minimalist design principles in various products across industries. - **Recycling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new and creative ways to repurpose materials through recycling, creating eco-friendly products. - **Eco-friendly Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Discover sustainable alternatives to traditional lighting solutions that prioritize energy efficiency and environmental consciousness. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine interior design by incorporating minimalist design techniques and eco-friendly materials into furniture, lighting, and decor. - **Sustainable Product Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the manufacturing process to create products that are made from recycled or repurposed materials, focusing on sustainability. - **Lighting Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Disrupt the lighting industry by developing eco-friendly and energy-efficient lighting solutions that offer unique design and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Material Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-cleo-lamp.md) - [Cutesy Coiled Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-helix-lamp.md) - [Space-Saving Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-desk-lamp.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Weighted Multi-Position Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-desk-lamp-design.md) - [Stunningly Minimalist Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-lighting-design.md) - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Customizable Minimal Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-delta-lamp.md) - [Plant-Based Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-lamp.md)
