# Tangled Lighting The Knot Lamp by Santiago Sevillano is Contemporary and Sculptural By Meghan Young | Published 2014-11-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knot-lamp References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/knot-lamp-santiago-sevillano/) & [mantraco.org](http://www.mantraco.org) The Knot Lamp is a stunning design that could easily be mistaken for a [suspended work of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design) rather than a functional ceiling light. Sculpturally tangled, hence its name, the Knot Lamp provides an [abstract form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loja) in the home or perhaps a public space in order to bring a [dynamic element indoors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drape-light). Designed by Santiago Sevillano Industrial Design Studio in collaboration with MANTRA, the Knot Lamp is both futuristic and organic. In spite of its overall contemporary appeal, there is a bit of a retro flair that nostalgic individuals will appreciate. The Knot Lamp is made out of polycarbonate and fiberglass and is available in black and white, which will satisfy the avant-garde souls out there. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sculptural Lighting:** Design innovative lighting fixtures that blur the line between functional and artistic, providing a stunning focal point for any space. - **Futuristic Design:** Explore the combination of futuristic elements with organic shapes to create visually engaging and unique products. - **Retro Revival:** Tap into nostalgic aesthetics by infusing contemporary designs with retro influences, appealing to individuals who appreciate vintage flair. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Introduce sculptural lighting fixtures into interior design projects to add a touch of artistic sophistication and create captivating spaces. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Incorporate futuristic materials and designs into lighting manufacturing processes to produce cutting-edge fixtures that stand out in the market. - **Art and Home Decor:** Combine retro and contemporary aesthetics to create art-inspired home decor pieces that cater to the desire for unique and visually intriguing products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organically Shaped Shadow Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp.md) - [Metal Thread Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp.md) - [Soft Rope Lampshades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hat-collection.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [Stealthy Pendant Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warp-lamp.md) - [Pasta-Inspired Curvaceous Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic-lamp.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuloa.md) - [Intricate Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-pendant-light.md)
