# Wooden Ball Lighting The Oo Desk Lamp by Sverre Uhnger is Naturally Geometric By Meghan Young | Published 2013-02-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oo-desk-lamp References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2013/02/20/oo-desk-lamp-by-sverre-uhnger/) & [sverreuhnger](http://www.sverreuhnger.com/Oo) Made out of wood, the Oo Desk Lamp immediately has a natural aesthetic that would complement traditional settings. Nevertheless, the geometric shapes and clean lines give it a contemporary element that will make it more than suitable for modern spaces as well. As decorative as it is functional, the Oo Desk Lamp is a good-looking light fixture. The Oo Desk Lamp was designed by Sverre Uhnger. According to the Oslo-based designer, "The starting point for the design was my fascination with lathed wooden balls and how the same shape in different sizes relates to each other." Hence the [rounded lampshade and base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikka), which is connected by an [adjustable stand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leda). Even the switch to turn it on is inspired by wooden balls. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 70% | 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Natural Lighting:** Designing modern light fixtures using natural materials like wood. - **Geometric Designs:** Incorporating geometric shapes and clean lines into the design of contemporary lighting fixtures. - **Multi-functional Decorative Lighting:** Creating decorative lighting fixtures that are not only visually appealing but also functional. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Using wooden ball lighting fixtures to create a modern or traditional vibe for a space. - **Lighting:** Using geometric shapes and clean lines in the design of contemporary lighting fixtures. - **Home Furnishings:** Introducing a multi-functional decorative lighting fixture in the home decor market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wooden Sustainable Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodo.md) - [Sculpted Wooden Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepy-wood-desk-lamp.md) - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Modernized Antique-Style Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odina-table-lamp.md) - [Streetlamp-Inspired Workstation Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-ode-desk-lamp.md) - [Bamboo-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-desk-lamp.md) - [Geometric Industrial Desktop Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-lamp.md) - [Adjustable Sculptural Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp.md) - [Colorful Geometric Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-on-desk.md)
