# Yarn-Wrapped Lighting The Nul and Nul 5 Lamps by K-O-N-T-O is Simple and Sculptural By Meghan Young | Published 2013-07-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nul-and-nul-5 References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2013/07/nul-and-nul-5-lamps-k-o-n-t-o) The Nul and Nul 5° lamps may look like something that would come from the Japanese or Chinese culture since they take on a lovely [lantern-like aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-collection), but they were entirely inspired by Scandinavian design. In fact, they are made only from [pure organic Scandinavian materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoop-table-lamp). Striking simplistic in a way that is at once traditional and modern, the light fixtures would add a clean rustic touch to homes as well as texture. Designed by K-O-N-T-O, a studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Nul and Nul 5° lamps are their first products. While one has a rectangular silhouette, the other angles out a bit for a little more dimension. Overall, both designs are [beautifully sculptural](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuloa), which many people will greatly appreciate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Organic Lighting:** The use of pure organic materials in lighting fixtures presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in sustainable interior design. - **Scandinavian-inspired Decor:** The Nul and Nul 5° lamps' Scandinavian design aesthetic could kickstart a trend for minimalist, cleanly designed homes. - **Sculptural Lighting:** Designs like the Nul and Nul 5° lamps could inspire more lights that are both functional and visually striking. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** The Nul and Nul 5° lamps align with interior design's push towards more socially responsible and environmentally-friendly design choices. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** As consumers demand more eco-friendly products, incorporating organic materials in manufacturing presents business opportunities. - **Lighting Industry:** New, innovative lighting designs such as Nul and Nul 5° are set to disrupt the traditional lighting industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illuminating Stone-Made Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nau-design.md) - [Pine Wood-Inspired Minimal Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jakobsson.md) - [Organically Shaped Shadow Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp.md) - [Silkworm-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-lighting.md) - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Ultra-Chic Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design.md) - [Aluminum Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nord.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md)
