# Treasure-Filled Lighting Kristine Five Melvaer's Light Jars Create a Bond Between Object and Man By Meghan Young | Published 2012-03-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-jars References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/kristine-five-melv-r-light-jars) & [kristinefivemelvaer](http://kristinefivemelvaer.com/) While most lamps' most treasured quality is the fact that they provide light in the dark, the Light Jars offer something a little more tangible. They can be filled with actual treasures -- reminiscent of objects that little children would collect and display proudly just like these light fixtures do. Created by Kristine Five Melvaer, the Light Jars were recently displayed at the [Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments). According to the Norwegian designer, the Light Jars focus on the "communicative potentials of objects as a means to create emotional bonds between object and user.” Made out of [tinted glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foscarini-1), a [wooden top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobine) and white wicker-like cord, the Light Jars arrive empty so that people can put whatever they like inside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Light Jars:** Light Jars offer a unique way to create emotional bonds between objects and users. - **Treasure-filled Design:** The concept of filling objects with personal treasures opens up opportunities for emotional attachment and customization. - **Communicative Potentials of Objects:** Exploring the emotional impact of objects as a means of connection can lead to innovative design solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can incorporate the concept of Light Jars to create unique and personalized lighting solutions. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore the trend of treasure-filled design to offer customizable and sentimental products. - **Product Design:** The product design industry can focus on the communicative potentials of objects to create emotionally engaging and user-centric designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md) - [Artfully Liquid-Like Light Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuloa.md) - [Ethereal Oil Lamp Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-realm-of-light.md) - [Crystal-Celebrating Light Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/port-light.md) - [Archetypal Conical Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragile-lamp.md) - [Ethereal Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-kovacsy.md) - [Artistic Shadow Play Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frero-tala-asa.md)
