# Helmet-Like Lighting Mona by Lucie Koldova is a Cartoonish Pendant Lamp By Meghan Young | Published 2014-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mona-by-lucie-koldova References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/02/14/mona-by-lucie-koldova-for-brokis/) & [luciekoldova](http://luciekoldova.com/) Mona by Lucie Koldova, an industrial designer born in the Czech Republic and based in Paris, France, may have a feminine name, but it looks masculine. This is due in large part to its resemblance to a helmet. With its rounded top and straight bottom as well as a visor-like strip of paint, this correlation is undeniable. Created for manufacturer Brokis, Mona by Lucie Koldova, who is an artistic director at the company, is available in two versions: [ceiling and floor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp). Although the floor design is adorably morbid since it looks as though the stand has pierced through the helmet (and possibly disembodied head inside), the [pendant model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-light) is particularly intriguing. It is hung from [straps in a unique way](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drape-light). Overall, Mona by Lucie Koldova has a cartoonish appeal that is endearing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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's Driving This Trend - **Helmet-like Lighting:** The trend for helmet-like lighting designs offers an opportunity for innovative and unique pendant lamp designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Industrial Design:** The industrial design industry can leverage the trend for helmet-like lighting designs to create visually striking and modern lighting products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Face Mask-Made Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anonymlux-lamp.md) - [Playful Minimal Suspended Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomnom-light.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Classic Architecture-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-collection.md) - [Transparent Base Sleek Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chapeaux-lamp.md) - [Astro-Inspired Sculptural Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara-suspension.md) - [Pasta-Inspired Curvaceous Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic-lamp.md) - [Monkey Knot-Integrated Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-knot-pendant-lamp.md) - [Structural Two-Part Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp.md)
