# Conceptual Moonlight Lamps This Astronomy-Inspired Moon Lamp Mimics its Light By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-05-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-lamp References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/moon-lunar-mood-light-based-upon-nasa-data/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [oscarlhermitte](http://oscarlhermitte.com/work/18) This uniquely designed moon lamp was created by designer Oscar Lhermitte and the London-based studio Kudo. The moonlight lamp, titled 'MOON,' is essentially an imitation of the real thing. Made to scale based on data from [NASA's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar1622) Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the MOON light features the same craters and ridges that can be seen on the moon as seen from Earth. LED lights revolve around the model, which casts light upon its surface while mimicking the [lunar phases of the moon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-pavilion). It operates in 3 different modes, including a live-action phase that shows the current observable phase of the moon. This extremely unique moon lamp is not only perfect for astronomy lovers, but anyone who enjoys unique and beautiful household items. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 68% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Astronomy-inspired Home Decor:** Creating home decor items inspired by celestial bodies and celestial events. - **Replication of Natural Objects Via Technology:** Creating technological replicas of natural objects, like the MOON light, for aesthetic and/or educational purposes. - **Smart Lighting Technology:** Advancing lighting technology to be customizable and interactive, such as creating 3 modes and live-action phases for the MOON light. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor and Furnishings:** Creating unique, aesthetically-pleasing items like the MOON light to enhance a home's interior design. - **Educational Toys and Tools:** Developing educational products that replicate natural objects like the MOON light for immersive learning experiences. - **Smart Home Technology:** Advancing lighting technology like the MOON light to increase customizable, interactive features for smart home systems and applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mushroom-Inspired Sleek Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-lamp-concept.md) - [Moon-Inspired Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lua.md) - [Sculptural Lunar Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonsetter-floor-lamp.md) - [Eclipse-Inspired Whimsical Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-traveler.md) - [Spaced-Themed LED Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-room.md) - [Nature-Inspired Living Space Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonlight-floor-lamp.md) - [Astronaut Night Light Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-light-projectors.md) - [Futuristic LED Lava Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonside-lamp-one.md) - [Ethereal Lunar Wall Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-piena-wall-lamp.md)
