# Hamburger Monster Lamps Japanese Brand UNDERCOVER Released an Eye-Catching Hamburger Lamp By David Ingram | Published 2015-06-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamburger-lamp References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2015/05/25/undercover-hamburger-lamp/) & [undercoverism](http://www.undercoverism.com/) Japanese fashion brand UNDERCOVER created a very unique [home light fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toto) that's sure to be the center of any room's attention with the [Hamburger Lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vandy-the-pink-4). Created by designer Jun Takahashi, the Hamburger Lamp was originally released in 2002, where it quickly sold out and became a sought-after collector's item. Besides the obvious selling point -- a lamp shaped like a hamburger -- the Hamburger Lamp also features piercing cartoon eyes and razor-sharp teeth that both illuminate when the light is turned on. Produced by Japanese toy company [Medicom Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-medicom-toy-30th), the lamp's re-release comes attached with a $150 price tag. Those interested in acquiring their very own light-up hamburger lamp should also be sure to hurry, as this iconic design will only be made available to the public in limited numbers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Unique Home Lighting Fixtures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create and market unconventional and eye-catching light fixtures that serve as statement pieces in interior design. - **Retro Collectibles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into the nostalgia market by re-releasing limited edition collectibles with a modern twist, targeting collectors and enthusiasts. - **Pop Culture-inspired Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and produce home decor items that combine popular culture references with functional and aesthetic appeal to attract niche markets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology and unconventional materials into traditional interior design practices to create unique and visually striking spaces. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion and design brands to create limited edition collectible items that fuse together art, toy, and fashion industries. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine artistic elements with practical functionality in home decor products, blurring the lines between art and functional design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Cartoon Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-and-adorable.md) - [Face Mask-Made Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anonymlux-lamp.md) - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Ice Cream-Resembling Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-serve-lamp.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-lights.md) - [Fruit-Inspired Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-lamp.md) - [Lantern-Inspired Wall Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hashira-wall-lamp.md) - [Portable Mushroom-Like Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ichi-table-lamp.md) - [Stunning Mushroom-Shaped Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroomshaped-table-lamp.md)
