# Cracked Egg Lights The Less Lamp by Jordi Canudas Needs to Be Broken to Illuminate By Marissa Liu | Published 2010-02-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/less-lamp References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5470303/break-this-lamp-to-make-it-glow-yellow-just-like-you-do-with-an-egg) & [momastore.org](https://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Less) Have you ever unintentionally broken a light fixture? Have you ever *intentionally* broken a light fixture? Either way, a light is usually useless after you break it, unless it’s the Less Lamp by Jordi Canudas. The Less Lamp is a sealed light (surrounded by plaster) that needs to be broken in order to be used. Crack the Less Lamp and the light within is released. A small pickax is included in the price of the Less Lamp, a light bulb is not. Have fun with the light by getting creative with the way in which you break it and the holes you can create on the exterior. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to engage users and create unique lighting experiences through interactive light fixtures. - **Sustainable Illumination:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eco-friendly lighting solutions that minimize waste and encourage reuse. - **Customizable Fixtures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design light fixtures that can be personalized and modified by users to suit their individual preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with artists and designers to create innovative and unconventional lighting concepts. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate unique and interactive lighting fixtures into home decor products to enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality. - **Sustainable Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes into lighting fixtures to reduce environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illusory Brick Wall Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/og-brick-lamp.md) - [Modular Brick Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-light.md) - [Playful Brick-Born Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-lamps-1.md) - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Flatpack Lighting Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allen-key-lamp.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Inflatable Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-lamp.md) - [Antique-Style Building Block Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-led-lamp.md)
