Laterally Strung Lighting

The Daikanyama Pendant Lamp Mimics the Festive Lanterns of Japan

— February 6, 2013 — Art & Design
Suspended lamps are typically installed directly from the ceiling, but not the Daikanyama Pendant Lamp. Designer Thomas Bernstrand was inspired by the Japanese matsuri lanterns that decorate the streets of the Toyko neighborhood that named this product.

Instead of strings that hold up lightweight paper illuminators, the very wires that give these fixtures electricity are what keep them hanging over your head. They can be strung up in straight lines or complex crisscrossing arrangement. Both methods create a festive and cheerful display.

The conical shape and the bright colors of the hanging lights reference the source of their design in a way that suits practical and contemporary interior taste. Sold by Zero Lighting and made in aluminum, the Daikanyama Pendant Lamp comes in yellow, red, black and white.
Trend Themes
1. Suspended Lighting - The Daikanyama Pendant Lamp showcases a trend of using suspended lighting fixtures that are hung using wires instead of traditional ceiling installations.
2. Matsuri-inspired Design - The use of the Daikanyama Pendant Lamp's conical shape and bright colors draws upon the trend of incorporating traditional festival-inspired designs in contemporary interior decor.
3. Flexible Arrangements - The ability of the Daikanyama Pendant Lamp to be strung up in straight lines or complex crisscrossing arrangements taps into the trend of customizable and adaptable lighting solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - The interior design industry can explore incorporating suspended lighting fixtures to create unique and visually striking lighting designs in various spaces.
2. Lighting Manufacturing - The lighting manufacturing industry can take advantage of the trend by developing innovative and versatile suspended lighting fixtures that offer both practicality and aesthetics.
3. Event Decorations - The event decorations industry can incorporate the use of festival-inspired lighting fixtures, such as the Daikanyama Pendant Lamp, to create a festive and cheerful atmosphere for various occasions.
