The show, called 'Afterglow', was held during NYCxDesign Week, and featured a collection inspired by the celestial glow that occurs in the sky during twilight -- after the sun has gone down. The fixtures presented at Afterglow represent this natural phenomenon in a modern and romantic way. Mary Wallis is a senior designer at Adelman's studio, who designed both the 'Edie' and 'Empire' chandeliers. Edie is a wild and daring piece made with [brushed brass and grey glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamar-grande-chandelier), and is modeled to resemble an exploring star. Empire is a strong piece, with white glass and brushed brass pieced into a dominating, yet [romantic lantern-shaped chandelier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-silk-collection). Additionally, Karl Zahn’s Kingdom fixture was also on display, consisting of a black asymmetrical arch, with leaf-like bulbs that create a fantastic balance between order and chaos. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Celestial-inspired Chandeliers:** The trend of incorporating celestial-inspired designs into chandeliers presents an opportunity for designers to create modern and romantic lighting fixtures. - **Twilight-inspired Collections:** The trend of creating collections inspired by the celestial glow of twilight allows designers to showcase the beauty and mystery of this natural phenomenon. - **Exploration-inspired Fixtures:** Designers can capitalize on the trend of incorporating exploration-inspired elements into fixtures, offering daring and adventurous lighting options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage the trend of celestial-inspired chandeliers to offer unique and captivating lighting solutions to their clients. - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can embrace the trend of creating twilight-inspired collections to introduce innovative and awe-inspiring lighting options to consumers. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can tap into the trend of exploration-inspired fixtures to provide customers with bold and statement-making lighting pieces for their living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organic Illuminated Artful Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cages-mobiles-and-rock.md) - [Playful Sculptural Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linea-selva.md) - [Plant-Inspired Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier.md) - [Dynamic Hand-Blown Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris.md) - [Ultra-Chic Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design.md) - [Geometric Bar-Like Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empyrean.md) - [Otherworldly Lighting Fixture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-lighting-fixture.md) - [Artfully Functional Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chant.md)
