# Scrap Food Chandeliers Diego Perez Creates Organic Lighting Out of Dry Grape Twigs By Michael Hines | Published 2010-11-02 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diego-perez References: [ecofriend.org](http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/dry-grape-twigs-converted-into-an-enticing-lamp/) & [treehugger](http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/10/amazing-lamp-entirely-made-of-dry-grape-twigs.php) Diego Perez is a Mexican artist who has taken scrap design to a whole new level. Diego Perez's designs include a chandelier made out of dried grape twigs and a coat rack made out of old Mexican walking sticks. My favorite piece of Diego Perez's has to be the grape twig chandelier. The lights, dubbed 'Proyector,' feature a few colored bulbs wrapped in dried grape twigs. Check out Diego Perez's designs in the featured gallery and be sure to think twice before you throw away an empty bag of grapes or a busted cane. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycling Design:** Creating new items from discarded material is giving rise to new and creative designs. - **Organic Lighting:** The use of natural material in lighting fixtures is becoming more popular. - **Sustainable Decor:** Designing eco-friendly decor using discarded or natural material is becoming a trend. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Manufacturers of home decor items can create new products using discarded material and natural resources. - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can leverage natural materials to create organic lighting solutions for residential and commercial spaces. - **Art and Design:** Upcycling design is giving rise to a new trend in art and design, with unique creations made from discarded material. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Orange Peel Waste-Made Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apeel.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Metal-Glass Intuitive Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salsa-chandelier.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md) - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Discarded Shell-Based Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmentos-de-mar.md) - [Plant-Inspired Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier.md) - [Dynamic Hand-Blown Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris.md)
