# Pinched Glass Lighting The Press Lamp by NENDO is Soft, Subtle and Minimalist By Meghan Young | Published 2012-05-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/press-lamp References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2012/05/03/press-lamps-by-nendo-for-lasvit/) & [nendo.jp](http://www.nendo.jp/) The Press Lamp looks like it has been pinched together on the top half of its glass tube shade. A subtle touch to say the least, it gives the Press Lamp a quirky appeal that still manages to complement the design's minimalist and modern appeal. Perfect for the contemporary living space, this light fixture would fit nicely in traditional homes as well. Designed by Japanese design studio [NENDO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-andon-table) for lighting manufacturer [Lasvit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miles-pendant), the Press Lamp is available in two versions: in a [pendent form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass) and a floor one. The pinch has been strategically placed so as to wedge the light bulb into the narrowed space. According to the designer, "The lack of metal and the soft form created naturally as the glass is compressed are the unique points of the lamp." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 12% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Lighting:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating simple and sleek lighting fixtures with minimalistic designs. - **Quirky Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in incorporating playful and unconventional elements into home lighting designs. - **Multi-functional Lighting:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in lighting fixtures that serve multiple purposes, combining practicality with visual appeal. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating lighting solutions that enhance the overall aesthetic of interior spaces. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing lighting products that add character and personality to home decor. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing new production techniques and materials for innovative lighting designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Paper Sconces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pin-sconce.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Pasta-Inspired Curvaceous Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic-lamp.md) - [Blown Glass-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luisa-collection.md) - [Music-Inspired Glass Blown Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miles-pendant.md) - [Perforated LED Table Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume.md) - [Whimsical Glass Bubbled Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peeka.md) - [Balloon-Like Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-blown.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuloa.md)
