Entitled 'Bloom,' the series has three table lamps inspired by nature. The lamps vary in size and color, yet all appear to look as if they are soon-to-bloom floral buds. Melvaer explains on her website that the design is, "associated with buds, fruits or water, while the seams in the construction are reminiscent of fibers. The steel structures have different heights, which contribute to the association of organic bodies." A truly organic design, the shades are created using the subtle and earthy tone of canvas. Kristine Five Melvaer manages to allow users to bring the beautiful outdoors indoor with the Bloom lamp series. The connection to nature helps to establish a bond between the object and user. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Nature-inspired Lighting:** The 'Bloom' series' use of organic shapes and materials opens up opportunities for innovation in sustainable lighting design. - **Canvas as Lamp Material:** Melvaer's use of canvas for the lamp shades offers an opportunity for material innovation in lighting design, promoting eco-consciousness and upcycling. - **Table Lamp Variety:** The 'Bloom' series' multiple sizes and colors offer an opportunity for innovation in customizable table lamp design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** The 'Bloom' series' use of natural, earthy tones and organic shapes resonate with a growing demand for eco-friendly home decor choices. - **Lighting Design:** The 'Bloom' series' use of unconventional materials and nature-inspired designs shows the potential for innovation in lighting design. - **Sustainable Design:** Melvaer's use of eco-friendly materials and sustainable design practices offers an opportunity for innovation in sustainable product design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Blooming Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomlight-s-lamp.md) - [Blooming Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloome.md) - [Miniature Portable Ambiant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossi.md) - [Plant-Inspired Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier.md) - [Spiky Palm Tree-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-blossom.md) - [Refined Sculptural Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-table-lamp.md) - [Blooming Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazuhiro-yamanaka-tsubomi-lamp.md) - [Artful Portable Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-portable-light.md) - [Floral Lighting Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pivoine.md)
