Drawing from the [ancient art of origami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gami-collection), OWL Paperlamps recreates wildlife in an abstract form -- using a combination of [intricate folds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-folding-lamp) to build their shape. By doing this, the team is able to create penguins, owls, turtles, parrots and more -- making for a [unique source of lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorpresa) that's available in a variety of different shapes and sizes to better suit the homes of consumers. All of OWL Paperlamps' products can be purchased through its online store, where a selection of DIY kits can be chosen from. In order to make picking one out more simple, OWL Paperlamps includes a difficulty rating so that consumers know what they're getting into before they order. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 97% | 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Origami-inspired Lighting:** Opportunity for creating lighting products that mimic origami-inspired designs. - **Nature-inspired Decor:** Potential for incorporating animal-inspired decor into interior design. - **DIY Lighting Kits:** Growing market for DIY lighting kits that allow consumers to create their own unique designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for lighting companies to develop origami-inspired products. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior design firms to incorporate nature-inspired decor into their projects. - **Craft and Hobby:** Growing market for craft and hobby companies to offer DIY lighting kits for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Flat-Pack Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi.md) - [Organic Paper-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Paper-Inspired Half-Folded Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-lamp.md) - [Blooming Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazuhiro-yamanaka-tsubomi-lamp.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Folded Timber Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp.md)
