Elisa Strozyk is the designer behind the 'Miss Maple' Pendant Lamp above. You might think that wood is a rough, hard substance, but this cloud-like light installation would prove you wrong.
This lamp consists of wood that's been cut out into little triangles and placed in a geometric grid. This structure gives the lamp its flexibility; from afar, it looks as if it is made out of crumpled paper. See more images of Elisa Strozyk's work above.

Trend Themes
1. Scrunched Geometric Lighting - Opportunity for innovative lighting designs that create unique visual effects through unconventional materials and geometric patterns.
2. Flexible Wood Structures - Potential for designing furniture and architectural elements that combine the strength and durability of wood with the flexibility and fluidity of more pliable materials.
3. Visual Illusion in Design - Opportunity to create products that challenge perceptions and play with visual illusions through the use of unexpected materials and geometric arrangements.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Innovative designs in lighting and furniture that incorporate unconventional materials and geometric patterns can transform interior spaces.
2. Architecture - Architects can explore the use of flexible wood structures in creating unique and sustainable building designs with a balance of strength and flexibility.
3. Art and Sculpture - Artists and sculptors can experiment with visual illusions by utilizing unexpected materials and geometric arrangements, blurring the lines between art and design.
