# Vinyl Record Lighting The LP Table Lamp by Genanvendt is Stylishly Retro By Meghan Young | Published 2013-08-01 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-table-lamp References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2013/07/29/Lamps-Made-of-Old-Vinyl-Records) & [genanvendt.dk](http://genanvendt.dk/lamper/) The LP Table Lamp is not only made for audiophiles, but also those who simply have an appreciation for [vintage-inspired home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-colombo) as well as unique creations in general. The LP Table Lamp is made out of [old vinyl records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-vinyl-player). Yet instead of bending the material into unrecognizable shapes, the records have been maintained in a layered look so that people acknowledge them as they have always been intended to be. Designed by Genanvendt, a [studio based in Denmark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vl-45-radiohus), the LP Table Lamp creates a soft and subdued lighting. This is not only due to the records themselves that help contain the glow, but also the screen of translucent material creating a cylinder around the light bulb itself. The LP Table Lamp is available in in different sizes with different numbers of LPs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Home Decor:** Creating lighting fixtures and home decor items using repurposed materials presents an opportunity for sustainable design innovations. - **Retro Revival:** The popularity of vintage-inspired decor and products offers opportunities for entrepreneurs to create unique and nostalgia-inducing creations. - **Layered Design:** Exploring layered aesthetics in product design can lead to visually striking and conversation-starting innovations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** The use of repurposed materials in lighting fixtures provides interior designers with opportunities to create sustainable and visually appealing spaces for clients. - **Home Furnishings:** The demand for vintage-inspired decor opens up a market for home furnishings companies to offer unique and retro products like the LP Table Lamp. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Repurposing vinyl records into lighting fixtures showcases the potential for sustainable manufacturing practices and the use of recycled materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Light Animated Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ls50.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-candle-lamps.md) - [Scenic Architecture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-inspired-table-lamp.md) - [Modernist Record Collection Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toneoptic-rpm.md) - [3D-Printed Reversed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolve-lamp.md) - [Retro-Tinged Compact Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lari-mini.md) - [Instrument-Inspired Wall Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-collection-by-sara-schoenberger.md)
