# Illuminated Flower Stem Vases The Living Light by Studio Floris Wubben Emits a Soft Green Glow By Meghan Young | Published 2014-01-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-light References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2014/01/21/Enjoy-Lighting-and-Floral-Arrangements-With-the-Living-Light/) & [floriswubben.nl](http://www.floriswubben.nl/work-6/) The Living Light is an interesting alternative to the traditional vase. First of all, it only accommodates a [single bloom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloome), which encourages a more [minimalist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-vase) for the home or office. Secondly, the design itself takes on a very basic look and is as small and stout as one would expect considering that the Living Light is made for one stem only. Lastly, and most curiously, it turns the stem into a [low light of sorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planto), hence its name. Designed by Studio Floris Wubben, the Living Light only works with stems that are hollow, such as the stalk of an Amaryllis flower. The designers assure its customers that the bloom remains unharmed and is still able to thrive even while glowing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Aesthetics:** The Living Light's single bloom design encourages a more minimalist aesthetic for the home or office. - **Functional Lighting:** The Living Light turns the stem into a low light, presenting opportunities for functional lighting in interior design. - **Sustainable Design:** The Living Light's ability to illuminate a bloom while still allowing it to thrive promotes sustainable design practices. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** The Living Light's minimalist aesthetic and functional lighting potential can disrupt the interior design industry. - **Floral Industry:** The Living Light's unique design and ability to showcase a single bloom can introduce disruptive innovation to the floral industry. - **Sustainable Products:** The Living Light's emphasis on sustainable design opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the sustainable products industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rechargeable Illuminating Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet.md) - [Origami-Inspired Vase Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingko-smart-vase-light.md) - [Floating Stem Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-effect-vase.md) - [Interactive Blooming Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomlight-s-lamp.md) - [Petal-Inspired Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-wall-light.md) - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-product.md) - [Posh Plant-Supporting Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ample-plant-light-n1.md) - [DIY LED Flower Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floled.md)
