# Lace-Up Light Fixtures The Corset Lamp Invites DIY Assembly by Looping Colorful Ropes Through it By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corset-lamp References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/tie-lamp-like-corset/) & [cristian-reyes](http://www.cristian-reyes.com/eng/corset.html) Plenty of people are quite happy to take some role in the creation of the products that they purchase and the Corset Lamp is a marvellously straightforward project that promotes involvement in its assembly. Cristian Reyes presents the consumer with just eight components that can be easily and intuitively combined into a finished product. The socket-integrated fixture takes a rounded cone-like form and is [manufactured in beech wood or cork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corka). A [colorful fabric-wrapped cord](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-series) connects to this and suspends the pendant lamp from the ceiling. A [crescent-shaped piece of leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier) has been cut so that it wraps around the base. Grommets in the material suggest that you're to stitch the ends of the hide together before securing them with a drawstring clip. The Corset Lamp has been cleverly designed to come together every time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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's Driving This Trend - **DIY Assembly:** Opportunity for businesses to create products that allow consumers to participate in the assembly process. - **Minimalist Design:** Demand for products with simple and streamlined designs that are easy to assemble. - **Customizability:** Growing interest in customizable products that allow consumers to personalize their purchases. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Improvement:** Potential for home improvement companies to create DIY lighting fixtures and accessories that can be easily assembled by consumers. - **Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture companies to develop customizable fixtures with minimalist designs that can be assembled by customers. - **Craft and Hobby:** Opportunity for craft and hobby retailers to offer DIY kits for creating custom light fixtures, catering to consumers looking for creative and personalized lighting solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monkey Knot-Integrated Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-knot-pendant-lamp.md) - [Flatpack Lighting Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allen-key-lamp.md) - [Interconnecting Component Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-lamp.md) - [Metal Thread Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp.md) - [Geometric Nostalgic Night Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmaid-table-lamp.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Pasta-Inspired Curvaceous Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic-lamp.md) - [Organically Shaped Shadow Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp.md) - [Outlet-Equipped Workstation Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avro-pendant-lamp.md)
