Considering how knitting has blown up in the last couple of years, there's really nothing that outdated about this lighting option -- just something very hip and comfortable. Designed by [Georg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koppel-pitcher) Öhler, the Granny pendant lamp are actually knitted by local Netherlands ladies. According to Öhler, "The fluffiness of the material triggers images of a safe, warm place." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, 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 - **Chunky Knit:** Opportunity for creating innovative and cozy home decor items using chunky knit techniques. - **Maternal Element:** Opportunity for incorporating nurturing and comforting elements into various product designs across industries. - **Local Craftsmanship:** Opportunity for promoting and supporting local artisans and their traditional craftsmanship in the production of unique goods. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the home decor industry by offering unique and cozy lighting options using chunky knit techniques. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to explore incorporating chunky knit techniques into their designs, adding a cozy and nurturing element to garments. - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the hospitality industry to create a warm and inviting atmosphere by incorporating chunky knit elements into the interior design of hotels and restaurants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Soft Comfort Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-lamp.md) - [Exquisite Textured Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendant-lamp1.md) - [Mixed Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gant-pendant-lights.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Monkey Knot-Integrated Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-knot-pendant-lamp.md) - [Wool Translucent Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow.md) - [Mouth-Blown Glass Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-pendant-light.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant-light.md) - [Baked Good-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant.md)
