# Minimalist Geometric Lighting The Ipnos Outdoor Light by FLOS is Sculpturally Contemporary By Meghan Young | Published 2014-07-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-geometric-lighting References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/design/ipnos-outdoor-light-by-rossi-bianchi-studio-for-flos.php) & [usa.flos](http://usa.flos.com/Flos/Outdoor/Ipnos-outdoor) Outdoor lamps have never looked more chic thanks to Ipnos, a minimalist geometric lighting. It is a stunning example of moving away from traditional forms to create products that could function virtually as anything. Whether mistaken for a work of [sculptural art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design) or as another type of furniture, the light fixture is a great conversation piece to have around the house. Designed by Guido Bianchi and Nicoletta Rossi, a creative duo based in Milan Italy, for [FLOS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-innovation), the minimalist geometric lighting is made for both indoor and outdoor use. Made out of thin, anodized aluminum poles, the upper parts encase LED lights. Shedding a mysterious glow since the light source is so deceptive, minimalist geometric lighting is available in three finishes: anodized natural, black or copper. In all, it is a classy lamp. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Minimalist Geometric Lighting:** Indicates a trend towards simple and modern lighting design with interesting and unique shapes and forms. - **Indoor-outdoor Lighting:** Demonstrates a trend towards lighting products that are versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor use. - **Anodized Aluminum Materials:** Shows a trend towards the use of durable and lightweight materials, particularly anodized aluminum, in the manufacturing of lighting products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Lighting Fixtures:** The lighting industry can explore new technologies, materials and designs to create more innovative and versatile lighting products. - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can incorporate lighting in unique and interesting ways to create multifunctional products that serve both as decor and as functional lighting. - **Art and Sculpture:** The art and sculpture industry can collaborate with the lighting industry to create functional art pieces that blur the lines between art and furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Outdoor Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gubi-seine-portable-lamp.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Outdoor Light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinno.md) - [Sculptural Metal Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape.md) - [Sculptural Outdoor Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solae.md) - [Elegant Geometric Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geometric-light-fixture.md) - [Sculptural Geometry Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape-lamp.md) - [Sculptural Outdoor Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lodes-1.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Structural Two-Part Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp.md)
