# Two Unusual Lamps MYBrain + Enlightenment By Ayman | Published 2008-03-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mybrain-enlightenment References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/9537/) Here at Trend Hunter, we always bring you creative out-of-the-box designs. And these two unique lamps are certainly not your usual boring [table lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-table-light). The **MYBrain** lamp is literally a replica of the designer's brain. Using an MR scan of his own brain, designer [Alexander Lervik](http://www.lervik.se/prod/brain.asp)processed the image through a 3D-printer and turned it into this unique lamp shade design. His brain must be bright! **The Enlightenment** lamp is creatively created in the shape of a book entitled, you guessed it, "The Enlightenment." It's not a heavy book, it's a *light book*. [The Enlightenment](http://www.lightupyourworld.nl/en/index_en.html?ih=/en/p_inhoud/inkijk.html)is made of white Plexiglas and is supplied with a 9 watt energy-saving lamp. As an added bonus, by purchasing The Enlightenment lamp you will be supporting educational projects by a [charitable organization](http://www.lightupyourworld.nl/en/index_en.html?ih=/en/p_inhoud/goeddoel.html) which will mean a brighter future of enlightenment for many. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Replica Lamps:** There is an opportunity for 3D printing technology to create custom replicator lamps from various designs. - **Lamps with a Cause:** There is an opportunity for companies to create unique lamps that contribute to supporting charitable causes. - **Conceptual Furniture:** There is an opportunity for designers to create unique furniture concepts that challenge traditional design conventions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Interior design companies can harness current technologies to create conceptual lamps and furniture for clients. - **Non-profit Organizations:** Non-profit organizations can collaborate with designers and manufacturers to create unique lamps and other household objects to raise funds. - **Art and Design:** Art and design industries can collaborate to create unique functional art pieces that explore the boundaries of what is possible as a design object. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Sleek Smart Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindduo-2.md) - [Sophisticated Productivity Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benq-mindduo-2-table-lamp.md) - [Human Physio-Themed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dif-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Reversed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolve-lamp.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-lights.md) - [Space-Saving Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-desk-lamp.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Sleek Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-lamp-concept.md)
