# Prismatic Origami-Like Lighting Lukas Dahlen's Ori Pendant Lamp Sheds a Golden Glow By Meghan Young | Published 2012-04-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-pendant-lamp References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2012/04/18/ori-pendant-lamps-by-lukas-dahlen/) & [lukasdahlen.se](http://www.lukasdahlen.se/) The Ori Pendant Lamp is inspired by origami. In fact, the designer not only experimented with paper before creating the light fixture, he also watched many [origami instruction films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gami-collection) to better understand the artform and its application to product design. The result is [sculptural, crafty and contemporary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-pendant-light). Conceived by Swedish designer Lukas Dahlén, the Ori Pendant Lamp takes on an [abstract, geometric shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp) that features a symmetrical arrangement of folds around its length. Made out of metal, each panel has been cut halfway with photo-etching in order to create creases for folding. Inside, the Ori Pendant Lamp has been coated in gold to shed a warmer glow around the living space it is placed in. It is available in three different colors: white, black and gold. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 55% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Prismatic Lighting:** The trend of prismatic lighting offers innovative opportunities to create unique and dazzling lighting fixtures using geometric shapes and reflective materials. - **Origami-inspired Design:** The trend of origami-inspired design provides a platform for creating visually striking and sculptural products that combine artistry and functionality. - **Golden Glow:** The trend of incorporating golden finishes in lighting design opens up avenues for creating warm and inviting atmospheres with a touch of luxury. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can leverage prismatic lighting trends to develop cutting-edge lighting fixtures that captivate customers with their unique visual effects. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating origami-inspired design into interior spaces offers disruptive innovation opportunities for designers to create visually stunning and functional pieces that enhance the overall aesthetic. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can tap into the golden glow trend by offering a range of products that feature golden finishes, providing customers with luxurious and warm accents for their living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Suspended Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sora-pendant-light.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Paper-Inspired Half-Folded Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-lamp.md) - [Suspended Origami-Like Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sora-light.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Baked Good-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant.md) - [Flat-Pack Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi.md) - [Maximalist Arched Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oblure.md) - [Enchanting Hanging Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hf-series.md)
