# Compartmented Light Trays The Hat Lamp Provides the Light & Space for Small Belongings By Matt Ho | Published 2011-07-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hat-lamp References: [curatedmag](http://www.curatedmag.com/news/2011/07/11/hat-lamp-by-studio-gorm/) & [studiogorm](http://studiogorm.com/hat_lamp.html) Anyone who likes to read from the bed will appreciate the Hat Lamp designed by [Studio Gorm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avro-pendant-lamp). The Hat Lamp is a wonderful little light that has one extra benefit that others don't have on the market: the base has been enlarged into a tray that has a miniature compartment for your books, keys, iPods or any other small item that you'd like to leave right on bedside. The lamp head is made from porcelain, while the rest of this accessory is made with steel and hardwood for that natural aesthetic that tends to blend in well with any home. As a reader, I love the fact that the Hat Lamp has a spot for your book. It may not be necessary for all, but it's one design aspect that any bookworm can appreciate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dual-purpose Lighting:** Designing lamps that not only provide light but also serve additional functions, such as holding small belongings. - **Mini-organizers:** Creating compartments in unexpected spaces to help people stay organized in their daily lives. - **Natural Aesthetic:** Incorporating natural materials like steel and hardwood into product design for a more organic feel. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Designing furniture pieces, such as lamps, with dual functionality to appeal to consumers who value space-saving solutions. - **Home Decor:** Creating home decor products with hidden compartments to help people stay organized and minimize clutter. - **Lighting:** Incorporating natural materials into lighting design to appeal to consumers who value sustainable, eco-friendly products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Storage-Friendly Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storage-lamp.md) - [Whimsical Item-Holding Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightray.md) - [Portable Pen-Holding Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-lamp-concept.md) - [Cabin-Shaped Reading Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boof-reading-light.md) - [Space-Saving Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-desk-lamp.md) - [Pop-Up Reading Light Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-task-lamp.md) - [Elegant Compact Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-table-light.md) - [Modular Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplat.md) - [Stackable Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/module-table-lamp.md)
