# Angular Octagon Illuminators These LEM wall lights by Daniel Becker By Jana Pijak | Published 2013-10-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniel-becker References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/vote/lem-wall-lights-by-daniel-becker/) & [danielbecker.eu](http://danielbecker.eu) These LEM wall lights by Daniel Becker take inspiration from quasicrystal and aperiodic patterns. Experimenting with shapes that are found in chemistry, the designer creates octagonal illuminator accessories that are both decorative and practical. These eye-catching lighting fixtures are [wall-hung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barnacle-wall-sconce), showcasing a soft glow that shines through their angular framing. Employing [complex geometries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alba-light), these three-dimensional LEM wall lights by Daniel Becker mix fine wire mesh and layered foil materials to create a diverse range of light quality that varies according to one's choice of lightbulb. These visually complex lighting fixtures take inspiration from various mathematical shapes and explore the studies of geometry and crystallography. Boasting an [octagonal framework](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoleaf-blocks), the futuristic illuminators stand out as an interior focal point whether they are displayed within a private or public space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Quasicrystal-inspired Lighting:** Opportunity to create decorative and practical lighting fixtures inspired by quasicrystal and aperiodic patterns. - **Complex Geometries in Lighting Design:** Opportunity to experiment with wire mesh and layered foil materials to create diverse ranges of light quality. - **Mathematical-inspired Illuminators:** Opportunity to explore the use of mathematical shapes, such as octagons, in designing futuristic lighting fixtures. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate quasicrystal-inspired lighting fixtures as focal points in private or public spaces. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Opportunity for lighting manufacturers to develop and produce complex geometric lighting fixtures using wire mesh and layered foil materials. - **Art and Sculpture:** Opportunity for artists and sculptors to explore the use of mathematical shapes in creating visually complex illuminators. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant Geometric Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geometric-light-fixture.md) - [Geometric Bar-Like Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empyrean.md) - [Sculptural Geometry Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape-lamp.md) - [Concentric Geometric Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caleide.md) - [Sculptural Metal Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape.md) - [Physics-Based Artful Light Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-collection-1.md) - [Perforated LED Table Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume.md) - [Multifaceted Glass Crystal Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-light-fixtures.md) - [Simplistic Angular Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-table-lamp.md)
