# Rustic Light Fixtures The Manila Rope Lights by Atelier 688 Look Fit for a Pirate's Ship By Meghan Young | Published 2011-05-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manila-rope-lights References: [mechanicaldummy](http://mechanicaldummy.com/05/17/11/rope-lights-atelier-688) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/73123165/atelier-688-original-manila-rope-lights) Although the Manila Rope Lights might not fit into everyone's existing decor, I know one thing for sure, it will in mine. Rustic, unique and full of character, this [pendent light fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-pendant-light) is something I can't wait to get my hands on. Designed by Toronto-based [Atelier 688](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-house), the Manila Rope Lights are cleverly fashioned out of a real 12-foot section of manila rope. Of course, the length can be customized per customer's request. Nevertheless, for 12 feet, the price is set at a whopping $350. Yet, considering how intriguing it looks and the detail it will bring to one's living space, the price is well worth it. The Manila Rope Lights can be purchased in store or only at its [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) shop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rustic Lighting Trend:** There is a growing demand for rustic and unique light fixtures, creating an opportunity for more designers and businesses to capitalize on this trend. - **Sustainable Decor Trend:** Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious and willing to pay a premium for decor that is both aesthetically pleasing and sustainable, providing an opportunity for eco-friendly lighting companies to thrive. - **Customization Trend:** Increasing desire for customized products provides businesses with an opportunity to offer personalized lighting solutions for their customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor Industry:** The home decor industry can benefit from designing unique and sustainable lighting options that fit current trends. - **Interior Design Industry:** Interior designers can offer customized lighting solutions to clients that fit their specific design aesthetic and sustainability criteria. - **Artisanal Lighting Industry:** Artisanal lighting companies can offer higher quality and personalized products to cater to consumers seeking unique, high-end lighting solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Monkey Knot-Integrated Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-knot-pendant-lamp.md) - [Mixed Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gant-pendant-lights.md) - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Expertly Machined Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prose-light.md) - [American Oak Pendant Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-bean.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Outlet-Equipped Workstation Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avro-pendant-lamp.md) - [Nautical-Inspired Warm LIghting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booi.md)
