Although clearly a modern design, there is a vintage aspect that will appeal to many while the clean lines introduces a subtle futuristic flavor. While [Design Milk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-bohemia) describes the designs as "a sort of modern interpretation of a street lamp for your home’s interior," people might fall on other comparisons. Made out of turned ash or pear tree wood and blown glass, the lights making up Lampiones by Violaine d’Harcourt boast a rich combination of materials. The shade itself is available in two different styles and colors while the size comes in two versions as well: table and floor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vintage-inspired Lighting:** Opportunity for companies to blend retro and modern elements to create unique lighting designs. - **Mixed-material Light Fixtures:** Companies can experiment with combining different materials to create visually stunning and original lighting designs. - **Sleek Futuristic Design:** There is an opportunity for innovative companies to create lighting designs that incorporate elements of both vintage and futuristic design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting Design:** Companies can capitalize on the growing trend for unique, statement lighting pieces. - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers can incorporate mixed materials to create visually unique statement pieces and explore how the blend of retro and modern design styles can create innovative products. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate the opportunity to use visually striking, unique lighting designs as a feature in their work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bulbous Whimsical Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic.md) - [Pasta-Inspired Curvaceous Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic-lamp.md) - [Archetypal Conical Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragile-lamp.md) - [Instrument-Inspired Wall Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-collection-by-sara-schoenberger.md) - [Blown Glass-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luisa-collection.md) - [Modern Dynamic Structural Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-table-light.md) - [Experimental Ancestral Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kawabi.md) - [Candy-Colored Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-ii.md) - [Opulent Outdoor Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gubi-seine-portable-lamp.md)
