# Modular Framed Lamps The Gaku and Sawaru Lamps from Nendo Fit Within a Square Frame By Joey Haar | Published 2017-05-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaku-and-sawaru References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/nendo-reveals-new-adjustable-lighting-for-flos/) & [nendo.jp](http://www.nendo.jp/en/works/gaku/?erelease) The Gaku and Sawaru lamps, two new design concepts created by Japanese studio Nendo for FLOS, make use of modular and adjustable designs in order to mesh with any aesthetic. In and of themselves, the two lamps are simple and minimalist, but their composition can be adjusted in subtle ways to help them suit even the most maximally designed rooms. The Gaku and Sawaru are both made from matte black aluminum, but their similarities end there. Gaku is housed within a square frame and attached via a cable, allowing the consumer to shift it around the outside of the frame into any orientation. Sawaru, on the other hand, is a minimal spotlight propped up by an identical cylinder. By rolling that lower cylinder inward or outward, one can adjust the angle of the beam. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Modular Design:** Modular design allows for adjustable compositions to suit different aesthetics. - **Minimalist Lamps:** Minimalist lamps provide simple yet stylish lighting solutions. - **Adjustable Lighting:** Adjustable lighting allows users to control the direction and angle of the light beam. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Interior design industry can incorporate modular lamps to create flexible lighting solutions for various spaces. - **Home Decor:** Home decor industry can offer minimalist lamps as modern and trendy lighting options for customers. - **Lighting Design:** Lighting design industry can explore adjustable lighting concepts to meet the evolving needs and preferences of users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Industrial Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi-modular-lamp.md) - [Contemporary Modular Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/point-floor-lamp.md) - [Infinitely Expandable Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-one-table-lamp.md) - [Bamboo-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-desk-lamp.md) - [Shape-Shifting Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi.md) - [Customizable Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-magnetic-lamp.md) - [Stackable Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/module-table-lamp.md) - [Adjustable Playful Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flos.md) - [Structural Two-Part Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp.md)
