Goccia, or drop, interprets a drop of water using [sinuous shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light) carved from Slamp’s patented material, Opalflex -- a combination of polymers and additives that has the sheen of glass and the durability of plastic. The material of which Slamp’s Goccia suspension pendant light is made also allows for a gradation of color. This effect further enhances the [prismatic shine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-pendant-light) the light, and a water droplet, gives when caught by light. The Goccia pendant light is available in six colors aqua (blue), fire (orange), tetra (pink/yellow/blue), opal (purple/blue/orange/white), snow (white) and jet (black). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Underwater-inspired Lighting:** Opportunities for creating innovative lighting designs inspired by the fluid and luminous qualities of water. - **Patented Material Development:** Exploring new materials and combinations to create unique lighting fixtures with the sheen of glass and the durability of plastic. - **Color-enhanced Illumination:** Incorporating gradation of colors in lighting designs to enhance the prismatic shine and create captivating visual effects. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting Design:** Opportunities for designing innovative lighting fixtures that mimic the fluid and luminous qualities of water. - **Materials Science:** Research and development of new materials with properties that combine the sheen of glass and the durability of plastic for various applications, including lighting. - **Home Decor:** Integrating unique lighting fixtures with color-enhanced illumination into home decor for captivating visual effects and ambiance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Sustainable Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycreation-droplet.md) - [Blown Glass-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luisa-collection.md) - [Exquisite Textured Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendant-lamp1.md) - [Water Movement-Inspired Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-light.md) - [Mixed Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gant-pendant-lights.md) - [Plant Pod-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light.md) - [Horizontal Glass Sphere Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant.md) - [Dazzling Polyhedral Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puff-pendant-lights.md)
