Home furnishings are beginning to change their attire! For example, this Antoinette [table lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-one-table-lamp) can change into several different 'outfits' depending on your mood. The lamp comes with a slender metal structure, inspired by mannequins, which becomes completely covered in patterned stretch fabric that slips off easily. As a result, vain Antoinette can 'change her look' often. The design was by Ilaria Gibertini e Miriam Mirri.

For background, it was Marcel Wanders who introduced this fashion in home furniture with the [Moooi Boutique concept](http://trendoffice.blogspot.com/2007/01/moooi-boutique-answer-to-new-consumer.html#links), shown for the 1st time at Milan Furniture Fair in 2006. Moooi was a sofa system comes with up to 20 different sofa outfits.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Changing Attire for Home Furnishings:** The trend of covering furniture or home accessories with interchangeable fabric or material as a way of changing its appearance creates an opportunity for businesses to offer fabric or material that is easy to swap.
- **Fashion-inspired Home Furnishings:** The infusion of fashion concepts like interchangeable outfits, and patterns into home furniture design creates an opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with home furnishings companies.
- **Mood-based Home Lighting:** The emergence of mood-based or interchangeable lighting, like the Antoinette table lamp, creates an opportunity for designers to explore new ways to create lighting fixtures that adapt to various mood settings.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Home Furnishings:** Home furnishings businesses could integrate fabrics or materials that can easily change the appearance of furniture or home accessories.
- **Fashion:** Fashion companies could collaborate and add value to the home furnishings market by providing fabrics and patterns for interchangeable furniture or home accessories.
- **Lighting Design:** With the rise of mood-based or interchangeable lighting fixtures, there is room for innovation in designing light fixtures that can adapt to various mood settings.
