The name of the jewelry-inspired lighting fixture pays tribute to [Coco Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-new-high-jewelry-collection), who was known for wearing strings of pearls around her neck. Between each of the pearl-like globes, the Coco fixture allows for various connectors to be added to create different configurations by adding or subtracting counterweights, hooks, ceiling fasteners and decorative rings. As such, the Coco fixture can be delicately suspended from the ceiling in a wide array of artful arrangements that hang vertically or drape horizontally like a necklace across the chest. In the same way that the perfect accessory has the potential to complete an outfit, Coco is available in a range of finishes to accent various interior spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Jewelry-inspired Lighting:** Creating lighting fixtures that draw inspiration from jewelry, offering a unique and artistic way to illuminate spaces. - **Customizable Configurations:** Designing fixtures that allow for various connectors to be added or subtracted, enabling users to create personalized and adaptable lighting arrangements. - **Accessory-inspired Design:** Exploring the use of accessories as a design inspiration for functional products, adding a touch of style and elegance to everyday items. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Creating lighting fixtures that combine functionality with artistic design to enhance interior spaces and create unique visual effects. - **Home Decor:** Offering customizable lighting options that allow consumers to personalize and accentuate their home decor with unique and stylish fixtures. - **Fashion:** Inspiring product design by drawing inspiration from iconic fashion accessories, bridging the gap between fashion and home decor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horizontal Glass Sphere Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant.md) - [Floral Lighting Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pivoine.md) - [Delicate Lighting Collection Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-lighting.md) - [Willow Tree-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/larose-guyon.md) - [Matte White Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2097-chandelier.md) - [Plant-Inspired Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier.md) - [Majestic High Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-new-high-jewelry-collection.md) - [Unconventional Modular Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-kaleido-series.md) - [Blown Glass-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luisa-collection.md)
