Even though the Equilateral Pendant Lamp does not explicitly emulate the form of a nature-inspired entity, it does suggest several. Most significantly, the light fixture seems to channel the visual effect of [a shining star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evening-sky) -- a reference that appears all the more pronounced due to its mid-air orientation.

Benjamin Migliore's ceiling light takes a rather intriguing [geometric shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape-lamp). Occupying the space of a three-sided pyramid, the frame angles inwards to create even more acute angles. Each face of the form folds in the middle and splays out to another point, opening up like the petals of a flower. These sections are fitted with a soft translucent material that fosters a diffuse glow when the Equilateral Pendant Lamp is switched on.
