Minimalist Mood Lighting

The Brick Lamp is a Simplistic Lighting Fixture with a Sleek Design

— April 6, 2015 — Art & Design
The Brick Lamp is a minimalist mood lighting concept, designed by HCWD. The New York-based creative studio launched their project on crowd-funding web platform Kickstarter and drew inspiration from simple architecture when conceiving this product.

Named for its linear and boxy shape, the Brick lamp provides users with the perfect mood lighting and can be recharged using one's laptop. The product is fitted with internal sensors that make it turn on when it is standing up and shut off when laid down flat.

This lighting fixture is a great solution for bedrooms or small offices and can be used to enhance lighting when needed or to diffuse it when looking for a more intimate mood lighting look.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Lighting - The trend towards minimalist lighting is an opportunity for companies to create sleek, simple designs with functional features such as rechargeable options and intuitive sensors.
2. Crowd-funded Products - The success of the Brick Lamp as a crowd-funded project points to the trend of consumers funding products they believe in, creating opportunities for businesses to test and launch products while building a loyal customer base.
3. Smart Lighting - The integration of internal sensors and intuitive features in lighting fixtures presents an opportunity for businesses to innovate in the realm of smart, connected lighting systems for homes and offices.
Industry Implications

Interior Design - The trend towards minimalist lighting creates opportunities for interior design companies to incorporate sleek lighting fixtures into home and office design, while the success of crowd-funded projects suggests potential opportunities for unique residential and commercial lighting offerings that are hard to find elsewhere.
2. Consumer Electronics - The success of the rechargeable, sensor-equipped Brick Lamp suggests potential opportunities for companies to create innovative, functional lighting fixtures that double as consumer electronics, such as the integration of smart home features.
3. Sustainable Product Design - The trend towards minimalist design paired with rechargeable features speaks to a broader trend of sustainable product design, creating opportunities for businesses to incorporate environmentally friendly features into products and innovate within the space.
