This beautiful [circular light installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light) is called the [French Cancan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-of-forms) by Parisian designer and artist Jean-Marc Gady. The French Cancan was first seen as part of Gady's exhibit at New York's [Gallery R'Pure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-relics).

The French Cancan is one of the pieces of the exhibition that will soon become an accessible furniture item. It was inspired by an examination into basics and the simple pleated lampshades are transformed into a circular sculpture that are reminiscent of the petticoats of French Cancan dancers.
