# Handsome Hooded Fixtures The Prairie Lamp Fans Back to Intensify the Light Emitted By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prairie-lamp References: [beautifullife.info](http://www.beautifullife.info/industrial-design/prairie-lamp-by-marco-guazzini/) & [marcoguazzini](http://marcoguazzini.com/products/prairie-2/) As the Prairie Lamp demonstrates, a dimmer isn't the only feature that can enable you to adjust the degree of illumination that's emitted by a light. This lovely little fixture embodies a [shapeshifting design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp) that you can alter easily with one hand. Three small bonnets made from injection-printed plastic have been hinged together and fastened to a lightbulb-bearing base. The end section integrates a [translucent panel to diffuse the rays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp). Because each hood is slightly larger than the one beneath it, the upper one can rotate over the others so that the snail-like form completely retracts. This simple shift to Marco Guazzini's [table lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp) gradually redirects the beams of the Prairie Lamp from the tabletop towards the ceiling and everywhere along the arc in between. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Shapeshifting Lighting Designs:** The Prairie Lamp's shapeshifting design offers opportunities for innovative lighting fixtures that allow users to easily adjust the degree of illumination. - **Injection-printed Plastic:** The use of injection-printed plastic in the Prairie Lamp opens up possibilities for lightweight and customizable lighting solutions. - **Translucent Panel Integration:** The integration of a translucent panel in the Prairie Lamp presents opportunities for diffusing light in unique and artistic ways. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting Design:** The Prairie Lamp's design serves as inspiration for new lighting products that prioritize versatility and user control. - **3D Printing:** The injection-printed plastic used in the Prairie Lamp showcases opportunities for the 3D printing industry to create innovative and functional lighting fixtures. - **Interior Design:** The shapeshifting design and diffuse lighting capability of the Prairie Lamp open up possibilities for creative and unique interior lighting solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplat.md) - [Tiltable Dimmable Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nod-lamp.md) - [Shape-Shifting Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi.md) - [Umbrella-Inspired Whimsical Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasaga-lamp.md) - [Traditional Tower-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pagoda-lamp.md) - [Minimalist 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-lamp1.md) - [Elegant Axis-Mounted Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendulum-lamp.md) - [Customizable Industrial Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi-modular-lamp.md) - [Foldable Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-folding-lamp.md)
