# Planar Table Illuminators The Quadra Lamp Comprises a Pair of Parallel Panels as Base and Shade By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-03-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadra-lamp References: [thesiaprogetti.it](http://www.thesiaprogetti.it/index.php?option=com_tz_portfolio&view=portfolio&Itemid=160) The Quadra Lamp can certainly be described as minimalist, both through its appearance and its manufacturing. The simple industrial illuminator comprises two sides that connect together and just one single sheet of metal was used make it. Using laser-cutting technology, a panel was sectioned into two rectangles with an adjoining strip between them. A fold was made along the edge of each of the shapes for 90-degree creases that enable the desk lamp to stand up with stability. Sufficient spacing between the sides of the Quadra Lamp is ample enough to fit a lightbulb. This also means that the table lamp can be oriented on its short end to emit vertical beams; alternatively, it sits flat and radiates horizontally. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Minimalist Lighting:** There is an opportunity to create more minimalist lighting fixtures that utilize simple designs and laser-cutting technology. - **Single Sheet Manufacturing:** More products could be manufactured using a single sheet of metal, reducing waste and increasing efficiency. - **Flexible Lighting Options:** Creating lighting fixtures that can be oriented in multiple positions can provide users with more flexibility for their needs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting:** Lighting companies can explore utilizing laser-cutting technology and single sheet manufacturing for more efficient and minimalist designs. - **Furniture:** Furniture companies can explore incorporating flexible lighting options into their designs for added functionality. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can explore utilizing laser-cutting technology and single sheet manufacturing for more efficient and sustainable production processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Workstation Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-lamp-concept.md) - [Minimal Aesthetic Light Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-light.md) - [Weighted Multi-Position Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-desk-lamp-design.md) - [Origami-Inspired Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20.md) - [Minimalist High-Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momax.md) - [Sleek Smart Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindduo-2.md) - [Sophisticated Productivity Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benq-mindduo-2-table-lamp.md) - [Flexible Workstation Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archflex-desk-lamp.md)
