# Cutely Tentacled Lighting Adam Wallacavage's Kurami Chandelier Features a Freaky Hello Kitty Motif By Meghan Young | Published 2011-06-07 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kurami-chandelier References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2011/06/05/hello-kitty-tentacle-chandelier/) & [sanrio](http://www.sanrio.com/smallgift/artshow) There are some crazy [Hello Kitty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-hello-kitty-crystal-figurine) creations out there, but I am more than sure that the Kurami Chandelier takes the cake. This hanging light fixture features porcelain white octopus tentacles that cup a mini Hello Kitty head at each end. Created by Adam Wallacavage, who is known for his tentacled chandeliers, the Kurami Chandelier was designed for themed art show hosted by [Sanrio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork), the company that owns Hello Kitty. Unfortunately, there isn't much information about the piece itself, other than the fact that it is a mixed media art piece that stretches 42 by 36 inches in diameter. Yet the image of the Kurami Chandelier speaks volumes. Whimsically creepy, it is definitely a unique light fixture that will surely steal any show. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Porcelain Tentacle Art:** Opportunity for artists to merge unusual materials and motifs. - **Mixed Media Lighting:** Innovation in blending contrasting materials to create singular lighting creations. - **Whimsical Creepy Trend:** Exploration of eerie yet playful designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Opportunities for artists to experiment with mixing media into eccentric creations. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate eclectic fixtures that blend contrasting materials and themes. - **Event Planning:** Incorporating unique, whimsical lighting fixtures into themed events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crystalline Cartoon Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-hello-kitty-crystal-figurine.md) - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md) - [Dynamic Artful Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-chandelier.md) - [Sculptural Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamar-grande-chandelier.md) - [Maximalist Chandelier Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-harry-nuriev.md) - [Adorable Cartoon Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-and-adorable.md) - [Luxe Cartoon Cat Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanvin-en-bleu.md) - [Otherworldly Lighting Fixture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-lighting-fixture.md) - [Mini Plush Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-monchhichi.md)
