# Circular Minimal Chandeliers This Chandelier Design Suits Most Contemporary Homes By Mishal Omar | Published 2017-01-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-chandelier References: [retaildesignblog.net](http://retaildesignblog.net/2017/01/16/circle-chandelier-by-hannakaisa-pekkala-for-northern-lighting/) & [northernlighting.no](https://northernlighting.no/) This minimal chandelier was designed by Hannakaisa Pekkala for the brand 'Northern Lighting' – having created it at the institute of Design & Fine Arts in Lahti, Finland. When thinking of chandeliers, most people imagine large and complex structures made from crystal, glass and intricately arranged metals. This particular chandelier completely sheds the more traditional interpretation of these products and instead focuses on a highly minimalist, simple look. The minimal chandeliers are black in color and come in the form of a [simple black circle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caleide) with an accompanying hanging light. The [sculptural piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamar-grande-chandelier) can be used on its own or grouped together to form a more "chandelier-like" effect. This product provides a unique alternative for individuals who are looking to decorate contemporary homes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Minimalist Lighting:** The trend of minimalistic lighting designs is offering interior designers opportunities to develop unique lighting fixtures for contemporary homes. - **Sculptural Lighting:** Sculptural lighting designs are providing new alternatives to the traditional aesthetics of chandeliers, creating an opportunity for designers to explore different shapes and forms. - **Grouped Lighting:** The trend of grouping multiple minimalist lights together as a chandelier alternative is giving interior designers more options when considering lighting fixtures for larger spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** The minimalist and sculptural lighting trends have created opportunities for interior designers to develop unique lighting concepts for contemporary homes. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** The trend of minimalist and sculptural lighting designs presents an opportunity for lighting manufacturers to expand their product line and appeal to customers seeking unique lighting options. - **Home Decor Retail:** The trend of minimalist and sculptural lighting designs allows home decor retailers to offer a new category of lighting fixtures that appeal to customers looking for contemporary alternatives to traditional chandeliers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Hand-Blown Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris.md) - [Dynamic Artful Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-chandelier.md) - [Matte White Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2097-chandelier.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linea-selva.md) - [Stunningly Minimalist Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-lighting-design.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Circular Hollow Timeless Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-collection.md) - [Sculptural Contemporary Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volant.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md)
