# Stunningly Surreal Lamps The Endless Lights Lamps Create a Cloudy and Ethereal Atmosphere By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-08-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endless-lights References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/bram-vanderbeke-endless-lights-mirrors-08-02-2014/) & [bramvanderbeke](http://bramvanderbeke.com/) 'Endless Lights' is a series of three [ethereally designed lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triris) created by Bram Vanderbeke. The lamps are fitted with [movable translucent mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp). By looking into this embedded reflective surface, viewers are treated to hypnotizing patterns and colors that aim to provide a feeling of existentialism. The Endless Lights lamps' circular faces are highly reminiscent of a psychic's crystal ball, and help recreate one's surroundings in a playfully manipulative manner. The lamp shapes are cast in resin' this material -- and the fact that light is located on the inside -- creates a [cloudy atmosphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yurameki). According to the designer, these lamp designs were borne out of a desire to give people "the possibility to place themselves in endlessness, and create a place to stare in and dream".
