Free-form and abstract with a lot of movement, they are more like [art pieces than light diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapso). An [eco-art project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection), the Piloh Lamp collection feature designs and materials that appreciate over time rather than depreciate. Using [felt, iron and cement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito), the collection "rejects abundance and excess and uses the conflict as a recurring theme," as stated by the designers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Lighting:** Opportunity for developing lamp designs that appreciate over time and reject abundance and excess. - **Artistic Light Diffusers:** Innovation in lampshade designs that resemble art pieces rather than traditional light diffusers. - **Eco-art Projects:** Creation of lamp collections using sustainable materials and promoting the appreciation of design over time. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate unique lampshade designs into their projects. - **Sustainable Materials:** Market for eco-friendly materials like felt, iron, and cement for creating sustainable lamp collections. - **Art and Decor:** Innovative designs that bridge the gap between art and decor, attracting art enthusiasts and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Organically Shaped Shadow Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Pencil Shaving-Inspired Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpener-lampshades.md) - [Silkworm-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-lighting.md) - [Archetypal Conical Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragile-lamp.md) - [Twisting Timber Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-lasercut-wooden-lampshade.md)
