# Quirky Colorful Lighting The Project Francis Lamps by DMOCH are Cute and Playful By Meghan Young | Published 2011-03-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-francis-lamps References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2011/03/05/francis-lamps-by-dmoch/) & [dmoch.se](http://www.dmoch.se/) Cute and playful, the Project Francis Lamps offer a fun way to imbue some much needed light-heartedness into one's home, especially after the dreary winter season. Full of [quirky shapes, vibrant colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-lebow-table-lamp) and odd mounting techniques, their whimsical presence brings a touch of magic as well. Designed by Swedish design duo of David Ericsson and Marcus Berg, both of whom founded DMOCH, the Project Francis Lamps were purported to bring a poetic and humorous element to traditional (and perhaps even stuffy) lighting fixtures. The Project Francis Lamps are so versatile, they could be strung like pendant lights, mounted as wall lights or even used as table and floor lamps. To see them in all of these capacities, be sure to browse through the gallery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Whimsical Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design lighting fixtures that combine fun and functionality to bring a touch of magic to homes. - **Versatile Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop lighting solutions that can be used in multiple ways, such as pendant lights, wall lights, table lamps, and floor lamps. - **Colorful Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create lighting products with vibrant colors and quirky shapes to add a playful element to traditional lighting fixtures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate whimsical and versatile lighting options into interior design projects to create unique and captivating spaces. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer a range of colorful and playful lighting options as part of home decor collections, appealing to customers seeking unique and visually interesting pieces. - **Experiential Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate whimsical lighting fixtures within retail spaces to create immersive and Instagrammable environments that attract and engage customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creature-Like Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pink-robots-won.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-lights.md) - [Adorable Cartoon Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-and-adorable.md) - [Artistic Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scacco-matto-lamp.md) - [Vibrant Dynamic Fastasia Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moooi.md) - [Bulbous Whimsical Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic.md) - [Colorful 3D-Printed Portable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-soft-serve-lamp.md) - [Playful Table Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toto-lamp.md) - [Removable Illuminator Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frandsen-grasp-lamps.md)
