It is comprised of four [blown glass designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upglas-collection) that are subtly curved and stunningly contemporary. Although each light is crafted out of glass, they each have a metallic finish that suggests otherwise. The lighting making up the Prandina 2012 Collection have been given individual names. [Tiara](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiara-house) is simple and elegant with a thin gold line circling the top half. Gong is like a cocoon, both delicate and strong. [Bloom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lili-tile) has a mysterious appeal while providing light from both the bottom and the top. Lastly, Chorus is a changeling. Despite its cylindrical shape, it boasts odd angles that make it look slightly different depending on where a person is standing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Blown Glass Designs:** Exploring new techniques and aesthetics in blown glass designs presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the lighting industry. - **Metallic-finish Lighting:** Developing innovative techniques to create metallic finishes on lighting fixtures opens up new possibilities for unique and contemporary designs. - **Curved Contemporary Lighting:** Designing lighting fixtures with subtle curves and a contemporary aesthetic offers disruptive innovation opportunities for modern interior design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can explore the use of blown glass and metallic finishes to create visually stunning and innovative lighting fixtures. - **Interior Design:** Integrating curved contemporary lighting into interior design can bring a fresh and modern look to spaces, creating disruptive innovation in the industry. - **Glass Manufacturing:** Advancing techniques in blown glass and developing new ways to achieve metallic finishes can revolutionize the glass manufacturing industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brutalist-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prisma-collection.md) - [Candy-Colored Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-ii.md) - [Geometric Bar-Like Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empyrean.md) - [Mouth-Blown Glass Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-pendant-light.md) - [Concentric Geometric Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caleide.md) - [Soft Bathroom Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastello-collection.md) - [Horizontal Glass Sphere Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant.md) - [Dynamic Hand-Blown Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris.md) - [Italian-Inspired Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flora-collection.md)
