# Origami Fabric Lights The Se'Paar Hanging Lamps are Made from Layered Sheets of Buckram Material By M | Published 2015-11-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-light References: [evolo.us](http://www.evolo.us/architecture/hanging-lighting-fixtures-in-buckram-fabric/) & [cargocollective](http://cargocollective.com/taegnishimoto/Se-Paar-1) Talented designer Taeg Nishimoto recently experimented with different types of material and layering in his series of hanging fabric lights entitled Se'Paar. The series features a variety of sized lamps made from folded fabric that replicates the aesthetic of origami. The clean use of lines and symmetrical shapes makes these hanging structures an artistic piece of decor to add to the home. The Se'Paar lights are made using sheets of white and black Buckram fabric that are sheer enough to be layered to defuse the light source and create an ambient glow. The [sheets are layered in rectangular formations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-lamp) adding a texturized aesthetic to the light as it hangs from the ceiling. Since the fabric is overlaid in different places, the light shines through at a variety of degrees creating a soft glow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Origami Lighting:** The trend of using folded fabric, inspired by origami, in lighting design to create an artistic and visually pleasing aesthetic. - **Layered Material:** The trend of layering different materials, such as buckram fabric, to create a texturized and defused lighting effect in home decor. - **Ambient Lighting:** The trend of using layered materials to create a soft and ambient lighting source in interior design. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in home decor by exploring the use of layered materials and origami-inspired lighting design techniques in creating unique lighting fixtures. - **Interior Design:** Innovative opportunities in interior design by incorporating the use of layered materials and origami-inspired lighting to create visually striking and unique lighting installations. - **Lighting Industry:** The lighting industry can explore the use of layered and textured materials in lighting design, particularly in home decor lighting fixtures, to offer unique and visually pleasing lighting solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Suspended Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sora-pendant-light.md) - [Flat-Pack Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi.md) - [Blooming Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazuhiro-yamanaka-tsubomi-lamp.md) - [Paper-Inspired Half-Folded Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Organic Paper-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito.md) - [Metal Thread Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp.md) - [Organically Shaped Shadow Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp.md)
