# Whimsical Paper Latterns These Graphic Paper Lamps are Made from a New Non-Woven Material By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-02-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphic-paper-lamps References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/paper-lamps-rene-barba-ligne-roset-reaumur/) & [ligneroset-parisreaumur.fr](http://www.ligneroset-parisreaumur.fr/) Created by designer Rene Barba for [Ligne Roset](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prado), the Graphic Paper Lamps are a whimsical décor option in neutral colors that add to the calming effect of the [lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fable-lantern). The material is a new blend that is non-woven, tear-proof and non-flammable and Barba was specifically asked by Ligne Roset to explore its use. The lamps are extremely light in weight and have a playful quality to them and feature a [graphic print on the fabric sleeve](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-collection) that sits over a black steel base. The Graphic Paper Lamps are a part of the upcoming Ligne Roset Reaumur showroom. The new material offers a more functional option for a design favorite, while the graphic prints are subtle enough to be reworked into different rooms. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Non-woven Materials in Home Decor:** The use of non-woven materials in home decor products introduces durable, lightweight and cost-efficient alternatives to traditional materials. - **Whimsical Design Elements:** Home decor products featuring playful and graphic design elements present a unique and fun option for consumers looking to add character into their living spaces. - **Sustainable Home Decor:** The development of non-flammable and tear-proof materials presents an eco-friendly alternative for home decor products that prioritize functionality and design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Using non-woven materials to produce fun, graphic and sustainable home decor products can disrupt the market and appeal to eco-conscious and design-oriented consumers. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Developing and marketing non-woven materials can disrupt the textile industry by offering cost-efficient and durable alternatives to traditional materials used in manufacturing home decor products. - **Design and Fashion:** Non-woven materials with graphic prints can possibly create new opportunities for designers and fashion brands to create unique and playful products in their respective markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blooming Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazuhiro-yamanaka-tsubomi-lamp.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Flat-Pack Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Washi Paper-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shining-a-light.md) - [Rice Paper-Inspired Statuesque Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pholc.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Soft Rope Lampshades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hat-collection.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md)
