# Plaited Paper Lamps The Lulu Light is Formed by the Simple Overlapping of Folded Strips By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lulu-light References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2013/11/29/lulu-light-by-jean-sebstien-lagrange-.php) & [jslagrange](http://www.jslagrange.com/Lulu) A pendant lamp can make a bold statement without a particularly weighty impression, and the proof is in the Lulu Light. This charming illuminator is composed of paper-thin sheets that have been fixed together easily for a remarkable lightweight design. Jean-Sébstien Lagrange makes use of the cutting-edge DuPont material called Tyvek that's essentially a synthetic paper product. It's been cut into triangular pieces that, when arranged side-by-side, come to form a vaguely conical shape. But before the segments are linked, they're each folded in three places. When the Lulu Light comes together, it consequently takes a unique silhouette with a multifaceted look. This folded origami-like treatment of the Lulu Light produces detailing through the creases when the fixture is on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Lightweight Design:** The use of paper-thin sheets and synthetic materials like Tyvek allows for the creation of lightweight and easy-to-install lighting fixtures. - **Origami-inspired Design:** Incorporating origami-like folding techniques in lighting design enables unique silhouettes and intricate detailing. - **Synthetic Paper Products:** Using innovative materials like Tyvek as a synthetic paper alternative opens up new possibilities for creative and sustainable lighting solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The lightweight and visually striking Lulu Light appeals to interior designers looking for innovative lighting options. - **Sustainable Design:** The use of synthetic paper products in lighting design aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. - **Art and Craft Supplies:** The incorporation of origami-like folding techniques in lighting design creates opportunities for manufacturers of art and craft supplies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Suspended Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sora-pendant-light.md) - [Organic Paper-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito.md) - [Paper-Inspired Half-Folded Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-lamp.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Metal Thread Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Folded Timber Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp.md)
