It involves real candles that appear to be floating in midair. Of course, there is always some trick involved when ti comes to such sights and this one involves clear string. Even so, Fly Candle Fly! is impressive. Designed by German industrial designer Ingo Maurer for Panik Design, Fly Candle Fly! is essentially made using suspension wire and a drip catcher. Since no power source is needed, the design is clean and simple, if visually striking. Great for domestic and commercial spaces, Fly Candle Fly! is a fun touch that could easily be used year-round or for special occasions such as Halloween. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Suspension Wire Candles:** Opportunity for creating visually striking floating candles using suspension wire and drip catchers. - **Mystical Ambiance:** Opportunity for designing products that create a mystical ambiance using innovative lighting techniques. - **Magician-inspired Home Decor:** Opportunity for creating magician-inspired home decor items that add a touch of magic to any space. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for the home decor industry to incorporate magical and visually striking products into their offerings. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity for event planners to use innovative lighting techniques to create a mystical ambiance for special occasions. - **Magic Supplies:** Opportunity for the magic supplies industry to develop and market products inspired by magician tricks and illusions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Delicate Illusory Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-light.md) - [Kinetic Insect Sculpture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonfly-balance-light.md) - [Floating Magnetic Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mnuca-floating-lamp.md) - [Naturally Inspired Digital Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magma-lamp.md) - [Candle-Mimicking Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hymn.md) - [Luxurious Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-candle-holders.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-candle-lamps.md) - [Warm Ambient Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflet.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md)
