# Deformed Molded Lighting The Frozen Plastic Collection is the Result of a Science Experiment By Sarah Nazim | Published 2012-06-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-plastic References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/frozenplastic?page=1) These handmade lamps from Frozen Plastic are the result of scientific experimentation. The lab was founded by Itai Arbel and product designer Shahar Kagan in 2011. The goal is for them to divert from the conventional methods of plastic formation. At first glance the lamps appear as if they are made out of dripping wax. However, the plastic is mixed with other materials to create the unique shapes. The company also makes colorful bowls and fake mustaches by using the same technique; the possibilities are endless when it comes to experimentation. This product is truly distinctive and exclusive in comparison to the numerous furnishings available in big box stores. The ideal consumer for these products are likely hip and artistic. The Frozen Plastic collection is truly original. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Handmade Lighting:** Exploring unique and unconventional methods of plastic formation to create distinctive lamps. - **Scientific Experimentation:** Applying scientific principles to diverge from conventional manufacturing techniques and produce innovative designs. - **Artistic Furnishings:** Creating exclusive and original products that appeal to hip and artistic consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Innovative lighting and furnishings that offer unique and artistic design options. - **Art and Design:** Exploring new materials and techniques to create original and distinctive products. - **Plastic Manufacturing:** Experimenting with different materials and processes to create unconventional and visually appealing plastic products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upcycled Plastic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafting-plastic.md) - [Molten Glass Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foscarini-1.md) - [Ice Cream-Resembling Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-serve-lamp.md) - [Recycled Plastic Decor Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastplan-design-studio.md) - [Melt-Resembling Portable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melt-light.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Human-Made Lamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-am-not-a-robot-lamp-collection.md) - [Crystalline Acrylic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel-flare-collection.md) - [Wrinkled Plastic Film-Wrapped Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1.md)
