# Seashell-Inspired Lighting Series Note Design Studio and Vibia Created the Musa Lighting Series By Amy Duong | Published 2018-04-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musa-lighting References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/musa-lighting-collection-by-note-design-studio-for-vibia/) & [vibia](https://www.vibia.com/us/usa/) Stockholm-based [Note Design Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-villa-sterlen) joined forces with Spanish design label [Vibia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/array-lighting) to create the [Musa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musa-apartment) lighting series. The collaborative lighting collection recalls the pearl that rests within the abstract concept of a seashell. To recall the thematic inspiration, the lights are composed of two delicate circles -- one side nestling the illuminating light, and the other circle reflecting it. The Musa lighting collection is comprised of opal glass spheres that have been hand-blown inside a textured concave aluminum disc. The lighting fixtures emit a soft light and are available as either a table lamp or a wall-mounted light. Additionally, the Musa lighting collection also delivers a portable option that comes with a battery so it can be easily transported. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Seashell-inspired Lighting:** Opportunities for creating lighting designs that incorporate the organic shapes and textures of seashells, providing a unique and artisanal aesthetic. - **Hand-blown Glass:** Exploring the use of hand-blown glass in lighting design, creating one-of-a-kind pieces with a sense of craftsmanship and artistry. - **Portable Lighting:** Innovations in portable lighting that provide convenient and adaptable lighting solutions for on-the-go use. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Opportunities for manufacturers and designers in the home decor industry to create lighting products that blend function with aesthetically pleasing designs. - **Lighting Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the lighting design industry by incorporating unique materials and inspired by natural forms. - **Furniture:** The merging of lighting and furniture design to create pieces that serve dual purposes and enhance the overall ambiance of a space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blown Glass-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luisa-collection.md) - [Orchestral-Themed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symphony-collection.md) - [Music-Inspired Glass Blown Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miles-pendant.md) - [Balloon-Like Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-blown.md) - [Petal-Inspired Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-wall-light.md) - [Discarded Shell-Based Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmentos-de-mar.md) - [Nautical-Inspired Warm LIghting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booi.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-lights.md) - [Candy-Colored Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-ii.md)
