The lighting solutions are achieved using chainmail to develop [dramatic, undulating tubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design) that will reflect the light given off by the main illuminators at either end. This will convey a touch of drama when it is turned off and bring it to life when turned on to make it highly applicable for living spaces that are [minimally decorated](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass) yet require substantial illumination solutions. The 'Aura' lighting concept has been designed in several color options and has been created in both [standing and hanging style varieties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-lighting) to make them a statement in any space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Chainmail Lighting:** Create lighting solutions using chainmail to add striking drama and texture to minimalist spaces. - **Undulating Tubes:** Incorporate dramatic, undulating tubes in lighting design to add a touch of artistic flair to essential decor items. - **High-fashion Lighting:** Elevate lighting design to a high-fashion aesthetic using unconventional materials like chainmail to create statement pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The use of unique materials and dramatic design in lighting solutions can disrupt the interior design industry by offering striking focal points for minimalist spaces. - **Art and Sculpture:** The use of undulating tubes, chainmail, and dramatic lighting can disrupt the art and sculpture industry by offering functional pieces that blend art and design. - **Lighting and Home Decor:** Incorporating unconventional materials and high-fashion designs can disrupt the lighting and home decor industry by offering statement pieces that add texture and style to living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Delicate Illusory Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-light.md) - [Glowing Tubular Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/array-lighting.md) - [Dreamlike Bubble-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airshape-lamp.md) - [Creative Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drape-light.md) - [Otherworldly Lighting Fixture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-lighting-fixture.md) - [Moon-Inspired Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lua.md) - [Dynamic Artful Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-chandelier.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Unconventional Modular Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-kaleido-series.md)
