# Crumpled Contemporary Lamps Patches Lighting Features a Scrunchy Shade for a Crisp and Chic Look By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patches-lighting References: [leibal](http://leibal.com/products/lighting/patches/) & [coordination-berlin](http://www.coordination-berlin.com/?p=2342&lang=en) It's amazing that Patches Lighting seems to embody such a casual concept, yet the complete fixture exudes a striking sense of class. Designed by the Coordination studio of Germany, the [pendant lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass) illuminates the room with its technological and aesthetic qualities alike. At its core, the suspended light is made up of a [long metal bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape) with bulbs embedded within it. This is then accessorized with bits of crooked red wire that protrude from along the length of the lamp in all different directions. An easily creased [translucent fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-collection) is treated to the embedding of tiny magnets over its inner surface, allowing it to cling to the warped wires. Patches Lighting consequently expresses a somewhat haphazard arrangement that's kept stylish by its expertly clean manufacturing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 - **Casual-chic Lighting:** Opportunity for designers to create lighting fixtures that embody a casual concept while exuding a striking sense of class. - **Techno-aesthetic Lighting:** Demand for lighting fixtures that combine technological innovation and aesthetic qualities. - **Creased Fabric Design:** Potential for using easily creased translucent fabric treated with magnets to create unique and versatile lighting designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate casual-chic lighting fixtures in their projects. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Potential for lighting manufacturers to develop and produce lighting fixtures that combine technology and aesthetics. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Demand for easily creased translucent fabric treated with magnets in the manufacturing of lighting fixtures and other products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dazzling Polyhedral Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puff-pendant-lights.md) - [Exquisite Textured Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendant-lamp1.md) - [Metal Thread Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Organically Fluid Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-collection.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant-light.md) - [Baked Good-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant.md)
