# Paper-Thin Lamps The Lampada Lights by Show & Tell Challenge Your Perception By Matt Ho | Published 2011-01-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampada-lights References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2011/01/21/lampada-lights-by-show-tell.php) & [showandtelldesign](http://showandtelldesign.com/) It's not Technicolor, but the Lampada Lights are giving me a slight psychedelic vibe. Designed by Show & Tell, Lampada Lights are [paper-thin lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shining-a-light) that have a traditional design with a modern twist. Show & Tell uses a new light source called electroluminescent sheets to create a blue trippy glow. The inspiration behind the light is to challenge your perception with a "[traditional lamp form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triris) but emitting light from a paper thin source." The Lampaa Lights are currently on display at Interiors Birmingham 2011. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electroluminescent Lighting:** The use of electroluminescent sheets in lighting design presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the lighting industry to create unique and eco-friendly products. - **Traditional Design with Modern Twist:** The combination of traditional design with modern materials presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for various industries such as home decor, fashion and accessories, and art. - **Perception-challenging Products:** Creating products that challenge consumers' perception through unconventional design and use of materials presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for a wide range of industries, including home decor, art, experiential marketing, and more. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting:** The electroluminescent lighting trend presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the lighting industry to develop more eco-friendly and user-friendly products. - **Home Decor:** The traditional design with a modern twist trend presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the home decor industry to create unique and personalized products that appeal to a wider range of consumers. - **Art:** The use of unconventional materials and designs in products such as the Lampada Lights presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the art industry to create new and unconventional works of art that challenge the viewer's perception. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blooming Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazuhiro-yamanaka-tsubomi-lamp.md) - [Floating Illusion Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-lamp.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Flat-Pack Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi.md) - [Illusory Multidimensional Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-light.md) - [Paper-Inspired Half-Folded Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-lamp.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Sleek Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-lamp-concept.md)
