If you find yourself tiring of different light fixtures soon after you install them, this shape-shafting lamp may be the perfect option. Unlike a traditional lamp, Modu is a flexible lighting concept that is inspired by the art of paper folding. The lampshade itself is made from pre-creased parchment, which can be folded and refolded to transform the shape of the light fixture. The lamp can be transformed into [more than 40 different variations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stak-modular-lamp), making it perfect for those who like to change up their home decor regularly. The kinetic parchment lampshade not only provides a sleek and minimalist lighting solution, but it also provides a fun opportunity to experiment with the art of paper folding. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 37% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Flexible Lighting:** Developing more flexible lighting concepts using origami-inspired designs. - **Shape-shafting Decor:** Creating shape-shifting designs for decor items, such as lampshades. - **Kinetic Home Decor:** Incorporating kinetic elements into home decor to add an element of fun and playfulness. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting:** Developing innovative lighting designs that allow for flexibility and shape-shifting. - **Home Decor:** Incorporating kinetic and shape-shifting elements in home decor items to create unique and customizable designs. - **Paper Goods:** Exploring the use of pre-creased parchment and other paper materials to create innovative and origami-inspired designs for different items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flat-Pack Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi.md) - [Paper-Inspired Half-Folded Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp.md) - [Foldable Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-folding-lamp.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Blooming Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazuhiro-yamanaka-tsubomi-lamp.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Umbrella-Inspired Whimsical Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasaga-lamp.md) - [Twisting Timber Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-lasercut-wooden-lampshade.md)
