The Mantis is a [desk lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20) designed to take up minimal space while providing maximum lighting. The Mantis Clip-On Lamp can attach itself to monitors and shelves, providing light to dark keyboards. [Desk lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engrid-desk-lamp) have become skinnier and smaller over the years, but the Mantis is probably the only one that can [fit in a drawer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossi) and clip onto your computer. Game, set, match, Mantis. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Lighting:** The Mantis Clip-On Lamp introduces a trend towards compact lighting solutions. - **Clip-on Accessories:** The Mantis Clip-On Lamp sparks an increase in clip-on accessories for various devices. - **Minimalist Design:** The Mantis Clip-On Lamp reflects a trend towards minimalist design in desk accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Supplies:** The Mantis Clip-On Lamp disrupts the office supply industry with its unique design and functionality. - **Home Decor:** The Mantis Clip-On Lamp offers a new option for lighting small spaces, disrupting the home decor industry. - **Consumer Electronics:** The Mantis Clip-On Lamp introduces a new category of consumer electronics: clip-on lighting accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flexible Workstation Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archflex-desk-lamp.md) - [Supplemental Desktop Computer Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workmate-smart-lamp.md) - [Low-Cost Monitor-Mounted Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-lagergng.md) - [Minimalist High-Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momax.md) - [Multifunctional Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boring-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Workstation Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-lamp-concept.md) - [3-in-1 Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biancinoti.md) - [Weighted Multi-Position Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-desk-lamp-design.md) - [Energy-Saving Minimalist Desktop Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-desktop-lamp.md)
