# Mythical Monster Lighting The Nessie Lamp by 2-B-2 Architects By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nessie-lamp References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/03/04/our-overhead-ally/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_details.asp?individual_id=179957) At first I thought I had come up with the perfect comparison for the Nessie Lamp; that is, until I noticed that it was in fact modeled after the Lock Ness Monster. Also, to clarify, I wasn't aware of the name either--that's what tipped it off! Designed by 2-B-2 Architects, the Nessie Lamp exemplifies great execution of a tricky concept. What could have been awkward and awful is actually something that I totally want in my home now! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sculptural Lighting:** The popularity of sculptural lighting designs presents opportunities for innovative and eye-catching designs that can transform spaces. - **Creature-inspired Designs:** The use of mythical or creature-inspired designs in products offers opportunities for unique and whimsical creations that capture consumers' attention. - **Conceptual Lighting:** The rise of conceptual lighting allows for the exploration of unconventional ideas and the creation of statement pieces that challenge traditional lighting norms. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage sculptural lighting trends to offer clients innovative and visually stunning lighting solutions for their spaces. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can tap into the demand for creature-inspired designs to create unique and playful home accessories that appeal to consumers looking for whimsy in their decor. - **Product Design:** The field of product design can explore conceptual lighting concepts to create disruptive and thought-provoking designs that challenge traditional notions of lighting functionality and aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scenic Architecture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-inspired-table-lamp.md) - [Pasta-Inspired Curvaceous Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic-lamp.md) - [Silkworm-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-lighting.md) - [Sculptural Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leda.md) - [Creature-Like Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pink-robots-won.md) - [Geometric Industrial Desktop Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-lamp.md) - [Stunning Mushroom-Shaped Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroomshaped-table-lamp.md) - [Organically Shaped Shadow Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp.md) - [Hand-Cast Crystal Glowing Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nola-lamp.md)
