# Chic Shucked Illuminators The Peel Lamp Appears to Come Apart, Emitting Increased Light By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-lamp References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/The-Peel-Lamp/5891271) Many light fixtures permit you to modify the direction of the most intense beams, but few do it in the manner that the Peel Lamp does. This quirky domestic accessory comprises a square base, a straight stem and a curious unfurling sphere perched on the top. The support structure of Carrie Curtin's table lamp is finished in black, contrasting greatly with the clean white color of the FDM-printed lampshade. This unusual crowning form seems to have been inspired by an unraveling orange peel, incorporating an open top, a precise tear and a bent corner. The slot created down the side of the Peel Lamp lets more light escape, affording the user the choice of how to orient the piece to achieve his desired lighting effect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Adaptable Lighting:** The Peel Lamp demonstrates a trend towards light fixtures that allow users to modify the direction and intensity of light. - **Quirky Design:** The unique and unconventional design of the Peel Lamp reflects a trend towards incorporating playful and unexpected elements in home accessories. - **3D Printed Lighting:** The use of FDM printing technology in creating the lampshade of the Peel Lamp represents a trend towards incorporating 3D printing in lighting design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The adaptable lighting trend presents an opportunity for interior designers to create personalized and customizable lighting solutions for their clients. - **Home Decor:** The popularity of quirky and unique designs like the Peel Lamp opens up opportunities for manufacturers in the home decor industry to create distinctive and eye-catching products. - **Additive Manufacturing:** The use of 3D printing in creating lighting fixtures like the Peel Lamp suggests potential for growth and innovation in the additive manufacturing industry within the lighting sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Glass Bubbled Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peeka.md) - [Blooming Lighting Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavo.md) - [Perforated LED Table Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Cutesy Coiled Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-helix-lamp.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Pencil Shaving-Inspired Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpener-lampshades.md) - [Orange Peel Waste-Made Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apeel.md) - [Sculptural 3d-Printed Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souffl-lamp.md)
