# Shuttered Lantern-Like Lighting The Cylinder Lath Lamp by Jonathan Dorthe Sheds a Warm Glow By Meghan Young | Published 2013-09-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylinder-lath-lamp References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2013/09/cylinder-lath-lamps-table-and-pendant-lights-jonathan-dorthe/) The Cylinder Lath Lamp is a traditional looking light fixture with a modern twist. As though created by some MacGyver, which the designer could very well be described as, the Cylinder Lath Lamp is made up of a series of shutter-like [laser cut plywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp), flexible zebrano wood veneer and, of course, a light bulb and black cord. Although complex in appearance, there is a crafty element that could easily be translated into a do-it-yourself project. Created by Jonathan Dorthe for Atelier-D, a design studio based in Montreal, Canada, the Cylinder Lath Lamp emits a warm glow almost as though it were a [candle-holding lantern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-collection). It is available in two different sizes and can be used either as a table lamp or as a [suspended pendant lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Shuttered Lighting:** Opportunity for creating innovative lighting fixtures with shutter-like design elements. - **Macgyver Design:** Opportunity to incorporate unconventional materials and construction techniques into product design. - **Crafty DIY Projects:** Opportunity to tap into the growing interest in DIY projects by offering customizable lighting solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the lighting industry with the development of unique and customizable light fixtures. - **Product Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in product design by exploring unconventional materials and construction techniques. - **Diy/home Improvement:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the DIY/home improvement industry by offering DIY-friendly customizable lighting solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Maze-Inspired 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-lamp.md) - [Organic Paper-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Scenic Architecture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-inspired-table-lamp.md) - [Archetypal Conical Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragile-lamp.md) - [Hanging Lantern-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodo-table-lamp.md) - [Japanese Lantern-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madco.md)
