The four piece collection features [bold and elegant lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-lighting-design) which deviate from the traditional look and feel of ceiling-hung light fixtures. The series elicits a sense of sophistication that's both imaginative and dangerously simple, providing eye-catching results that are sure to enhance any living space. The first piece, 'Double Act' uses metal bars to embody a trapeze-inspired balancing act. 'Back Flip' features a curved metal slab with porcelain ends suspended from a frame. 'Forward Bend' features a curved metal bar that takes a more daring dip than 'Back Flip.' Whereas 'Flat bar,' the more simple deign, features an extended metal bar, suspended from a frame. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Aerial Performance-inspired Lighting:** Visual inspiration from non-traditional sources can lead to unique and elegant lighting designs. - **Bold and Simple Lighting Design:** Breaking away from traditional lighting design can create an elegant yet daring aesthetic for living spaces. - **Combining Metal and Porcelain in Lighting Design:** Experimenting with materials can lead to creating unique and innovative lighting designs that stand apart from traditional lighting fixtures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate unique and elegant lighting designs that deviate from traditional ceiling-hung light fixtures to elevate living spaces. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Incorporating non-traditional visual inspirations into lighting design can lead to innovative and differentiated product offerings in the marketplace. - **Home Décor Retail:** Home décor retailers can offer consumers unique and sophisticated lighting designs that break away from the traditional for elevated and elegant home décor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tripod-Like Garment Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-coat-rack.md) - [Balloon-Like Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-blown.md) - [Delicate Illusory Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-light.md) - [Firefly-Inspired Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heath-ceramics.md) - [Material-Exploring Industrial-Style Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrialstyle-lighting.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Organically Fluid Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-collection.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Delicate Lighting Collection Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-lighting.md)
