# Pop-Up Paper Lamps This Folding Lamp is Constructed from One Simple Sheet of Cardboard By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-08-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-lamp References: [trendland](http://trendland.com/the-pop-up-lamp-by-well-well-designers/) & [wellwelldesigners](http://www.wellwelldesigners.com/work/pop-up-2) Well Well Designers created a folding lamp using the common idea of pop-up cardboard shapes, the likes of which are seen in children's books. The simple lamp uses a space in a room that is often unnoticed and untapped -- the corner. Utilizing space in a room that rarely has a function, the folding lamp can be put on the floor, as the lamp's "shade" is risen a couple inches off of the ground, or they can be fasted at a different height on the wall. The pop-up folding lamp is constructed from a [single sheet of cardboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorpresa), with [simple geometric cut-outs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape-lamp) turning the lamps into square, triangular or circular modules when folded at a 90 degree angle. While some may say this is an obvious and simple design, clearly it is not simple enough for others to employ as the product has a market it is being sold to. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pop-up Cardboard Design:** This trend of utilizing cardboard in innovative ways presents opportunities for creating versatile and sustainable products. - **Space Optimization:** This trend highlights the potential for creating functional and space-saving designs that can maximize the utility of unused corners. - **Minimalist Lighting Solutions:** This trend focuses on creating simple yet stylish lighting fixtures that blend seamlessly with modern interior designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** The furniture industry can explore incorporating pop-up cardboard elements into various products to offer customizable and resource-efficient solutions. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage the concept of space optimization to create unique lighting installations that enhance the aesthetic appeal of rooms. - **Eco-friendly Products:** The eco-friendly products industry can embrace the trend of minimalist lighting solutions to provide sustainable and visually pleasing alternatives to traditional lighting fixtures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Foldable Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-folding-lamp.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp.md) - [Folded Timber Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp.md) - [Paper-Inspired Half-Folded Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lit Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup.md) - [Blooming Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazuhiro-yamanaka-tsubomi-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Cubic Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megapuff-lamp.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md)
