# Honeycomb Hanging Fixtures The Hexa Lamp by DesignLibero Incorporates the Sweet Aesthetic of Bees By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-09-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexa-lamp-by-designlibero References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/50133/) & [designlibero](http://www.designlibero.com/portfolio/product-design/hexa-lamp/) Some of the most beautiful forms and patterns can be found in [nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light) and the Hexa Lamp by DesignLibero has been conceived with inspiration from insects. Modeled on more spherical interpretations of honeybee wax cells, these light fixtures look scrumptious from every angle. Even with their white and glossy structures, the versatile [pendant lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-light) have a naturalness about the way that they have been manufactured. Not every single face of the [three-dimensional honeycomb sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airhive) has been rendered light-penetrable. At random, the shapes seem to be closed or left open to varying degrees. The resultant look is one with an unevenness of the emitted illumination and a quality that makes the Hexa Lamp by DesignLibero all the more visually intriguing. The impression is enhanced by the versatility of the fixtures since they're capable of behaving as table lamps as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Biomimicry Inspired Lighting:** Designing lighting fixtures that mimic patterns and aesthetics found in nature, particularly insects, for a unique and visually intriguing look - **Flexible Pendant Lamps:** Creating pendant lamps that can also be used as table lamps for versatility in use and placement - **Randomized Illumination:** Incorporating a mixture of light-penetrable and non-light-penetrable shapes in three-dimensional sculptures to create uneven and visually interesting lighting effects ### Where This Applies - **Lighting:** Innovating new designs and materials for lighting fixtures inspired by biomimicry to differentiate products and attract environmentally conscious consumers - **Home Decor:** Incorporating biomimicry-inspired lighting fixtures as a unique and eye-catching element in home decor, particularly as hanging pendants which provide both ambient and functional lighting - **Furniture:** Creating furniture pieces that can incorporate flexible pendant lamps into their design, allowing for versatile placement and multi-functional use ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metal Thread Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Suspended Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haibu.md) - [Archetypal Conical Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragile-lamp.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Enchanting Hanging Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hf-series.md) - [Encapsulated Semi-Transparent Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nested-pendant-light.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Geometric Bar-Like Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empyrean.md) - [Organic Cloud-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khmara.md)
