# DIY Hexagonal Wooden Lamps This Handmade Wooden Lamp Starts Off as a Simple Cubic Frame By Jen Chae | Published 2013-08-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmade-wooden-lamp References: [blog.naver](http://blog.naver.com/hankukilbo/70173548792) & [blog.naver](http://blog.naver.com/hankukilbo) It looks quite complicated to make, but this handmade wooden lamp actually starts off as a simple cubic frame. The creator then builds on this bare skeleton with square wooden fixtures that slightly increase in dimensions. By stacking and affixing differently sized squares around the cube frame, the cube base ends up looking like a hexagonal prism. This DIY is another brilliant doing of South Korean blogger Hobby Design. But even though the project looks complex, it actually uses similar techniques as arts and crafts with popsicle sticks in elementary school. Because this lamp is unpainted, its raw wooden appearance gives off an organic feel during the day time. In the dark, the strips of stacked wood emit subtle light through its cracks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Handmade Wooden Lamps:** Opportunity for furniture designers and artisans to create one-of-a-kind, sustainable lighting options using natural materials. - **DIY Home Decor:** Opportunity for online retailers and marketplaces to provide tutorials and kits for consumers looking to create their own unique home decor items. - **Minimalist Design:** Opportunity for interior designers and architects to incorporate simple yet striking wooden lighting fixtures that complement modern design aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to incorporate sustainable design practices and create unique, handmade lighting options for their product lines. - **E-commerce:** Opportunity for online retailers and marketplaces to offer a wide range of DIY home decor tutorials, kits, and supplies to consumers looking to create unique, handmade items. - **Architecture and Interior Design:** Opportunity for architects and interior designers to incorporate unique, handmade lighting fixtures into modern design aesthetics to create a minimalist yet striking look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Twisting Timber Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-lasercut-wooden-lampshade.md) - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Interconnecting Component Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-lamp.md) - [Folded Timber Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp.md) - [Geometric Nostalgic Night Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmaid-table-lamp.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Gothic Wooden Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-table-lamp.md) - [Flatpack Lighting Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allen-key-lamp.md) - [Pine Wood-Inspired Minimal Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jakobsson.md)
