Furniture designer Mark Sage of Belgium hand makes the fixtures in a number of sizes from [reclaimed wooden casks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-lamp). Sage uses [barrel staves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newfill-barrels), the strips of oak used to make the wine drums and the metal hoops used to hold them together, in the lighting designs. Mark Sage’s six-candle version of the wine barrel chandelier has just been listed by [Restoration Hardware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byron-reeded-collection), so if you have your heart set on one you can order your own for $2,495; however, quantities are limited. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Urban-rustic Lighting:** Repurposing wine barrels into chic lighting fixtures presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the urban-rustic lighting trend. - **Sustainable Design:** Using reclaimed wooden casks for making chandeliers taps into the sustainable design trend and offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the industry. - **Handcrafted Furniture:** The handcrafted nature of these wine barrel chandeliers caters to the growing trend of consumers seeking unique, artisanal furniture pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The use of wine barrels in creating chandeliers provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for the interior design industry. - **Home Decor:** Repurposed wine barrel chandeliers offer a unique and eco-friendly home decoration option, aligning with the sustainable home decor trend. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Incorporating reclaimed wooden casks in lighting fixtures opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for the furniture manufacturing industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brick Puzzle Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antique-chandelier.md) - [Metal-Glass Intuitive Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salsa-chandelier.md) - [Jewel-Inspired Chandelier Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-chandelier.md) - [Sculptural Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamar-grande-chandelier.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linea-selva.md) - [Modular Architectural Wine Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrique-bottle-holder.md) - [Plant-Inspired Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier.md) - [Whiskey Barrel-Decorated Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laizhou-bar.md)
