The unit maintains a design that functions like a [modern lantern with a long handle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-collection) that will enable it to be [shifted with ease around a space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fsl-wireless). The top section of the lantern features a tray-like design that offers ample space for [storing small items like earbuds, keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engrid-desk-lamp) and the like. The conceptual 'Lightray' lantern was explained by Jeongyeon who said that, "Lightray is a light that has a tray. It was designed inspired by a treasure box. Put something you like or something always with you. Even on a dark night when you can’t see anything, they shine brightly.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-functional Lighting:** Designing lighting fixtures that serve more than just one purpose. - **Customizable Lighting:** Creating lighting designs that can be personalized to fit individual preferences. - **Innovative Home Decor:** Creating unique and practical home decor items that can add value to the customer's lifestyle. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Opportunities for companies to create innovative lighting fixtures that can serve other purposes besides just providing light. - **Furniture:** Creating multi-functional furniture pieces that incorporate lighting elements. - **Interior Design:** Developing custom lighting fixtures that can be tailored to fit individual customer needs and preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Outdoor Illumination Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-outdoor-lantern.md) - [Bulbous Bag-Like Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chorong-lantern.md) - [Outdoor Lantern Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-lantern-1.md) - [Storage-Friendly Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storage-lamp.md) - [Flower-Like Portable Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tulit-led-lantern.md) - [OLED Display Lantern Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rn-lantern.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Lantern-Like Light Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-kyeol-series.md) - [Multipurpose Entryway Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charger-lamp.md)
