Kwangho says his “biggest inspiration of this lighting is my mother's knitting hobbies during my childhood.” All the designs are made to order from a single wire varying from 10 to 300 meters long. The designs leave me with an overwhelming urge to detangle and roll back up into a neat ball! **Implications** - While lighting may seem to represent a mundane product that many consumers already own, in reality placing creative touches on frequent consumer purchases like lighting is a smart way for companies to ensure their products are always needed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Creative Lighting:** Exploring unique and artistic approaches to lighting design using unconventional materials like electrical cords. - **Personalized Ordering:** Offering made-to-order lighting designs allows customers to customize their products and create a unique experience. - **Nostalgic Inspiration:** Drawing inspiration from childhood memories and hobbies to create innovative lighting designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Incorporating creative lighting designs into home decor products and services. - **Design and Manufacturing:** Partnering with designers and manufacturers to create custom lighting designs using unconventional materials. - **Craft and Hobby:** Providing unique materials and resources for hobbyists and crafters to create innovative lighting projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drape-light.md) - [Dynamic Geometric Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drape-light.md) - [Metal Thread Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp.md) - [Woven Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gurunsi.md) - [3D-Woven Textile Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coastal-breeze-collection.md) - [Wireless Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-collection.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [LED String Light Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spline.md) - [Monkey Knot-Integrated Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-knot-pendant-lamp.md)
