# Mirrored Acrylic Lighting Jonas Loenborg's Pinecone Pendant Lamp is Inspired by Nature By Meghan Young | Published 2011-11-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinecone-pendant-lamp References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/005902.html) & [hellosailor.dk](http://www.hellosailor.dk/) There is a sci-fi quality about the Pinecone Pendant Lamp that doesn't really have anything to do with the materials used, but more with the shape and design it takes on. Modeled after a real pinecone (hence its name), it has a [scaly aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-lighting) that almost makes it look like some kind of alien creature; chameleon-like creature, to be exact. Created by Jonas Loenborg, a product designer living and working in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Pinecone Pendant Lamp is made out of various materials. The most interesting one has to be the mirror acrylics, but the white and clear acrylics are just as captivating -- not to mention the [birch plywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-collection-1), which really makes it look like a pinecone. It is available in two sizes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Mirrored Acrylics:** The use of mirrored acrylics in lighting design offers an opportunity for innovative and futuristic aesthetics. - **Nature-inspired Lighting:** Designs inspired by natural elements like pinecones provide a disruptive opportunity to bring organic beauty into indoor spaces. - **Scaly Aesthetics:** Exploring scaly textures in lighting design allows for unique and visually captivating products that stand out from traditional designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The mirrored acrylic lighting trend can be integrated into interior design to create visually striking and modern spaces. - **Lighting Design:** Nature-inspired lighting trends present an opportunity for lighting designers to explore new forms and materials for their creations. - **Home Decor:** The use of scaly aesthetics in lighting design provides a disruptive opportunity for home decor companies to offer unique and eye-catching products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant Pod-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light.md) - [Curved Pendant Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-light.md) - [American Oak Pendant Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-bean.md) - [Encapsulated Semi-Transparent Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nested-pendant-light.md) - [Enchanting Hanging Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hf-series.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Intricate Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-pendant-light.md) - [Suspended Mirrored Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-collection-1.md) - [Exquisite Textured Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendant-lamp1.md)
