# Holey Wood Lighting The Oak Pendant Lamp by Ross Gardam is Simple and Modern By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-pendant-lamp References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2012/10/01/oak-pendant-lamps-by-ross-gardam/) & [rossgardam.au](http://rossgardam.com.au/) The Oak Pendant Lamp may boast a simple design, and as a result a simple silhouette, but there is something both refined and casual about it that gives it a good dose of character. It starts with a soft curve and ends with an abrupt straight line. It features what appears to be a random hole that allows the cord to peak through as well as for a variety of hanging possibilities. A [minimalist light fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass), the Oak Pendant Lamp will nevertheless add a modern touch to living spaces everywhere. Created by Australian designer Ross Gardam, the Oak Pendant Lamp is made out of solid [FSC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-9) timber and is available in one size and three finishes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating sleek and stylish products with minimalistic aesthetics. - **Natural Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing sustainable products using renewable resources. - **Versatile Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing flexible lighting solutions that provide various hanging possibilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reimagining interior spaces with minimalist lighting fixtures that enhance modern aesthetics. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating natural materials, such as FSC timber, into the production of contemporary furniture. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring sustainable lighting solutions that utilize renewable materials and energy sources. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Pine Wood-Inspired Minimal Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jakobsson.md) - [Wooden Pendant Lamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-collection-1.md) - [Plant Pod-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light.md) - [Raw Minimalist Pine Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoop-table-lamp.md) - [Sustainable Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corka.md) - [Mixed Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gant-pendant-lights.md) - [Maximalist Arched Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oblure.md) - [Skateboarding-Inspired Wood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-green-works.md)
