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.
