# Fab Factory Lighting The Radar Scone by Schoolhouse is a Fixture of Modern and Machine-Age Fusion By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-01-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radar-scone-by-schoolhouse References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/51986/) & [schoolhouseelectric](http://www.schoolhouseelectric.com/radar-sconce.html) Anyone who says industrial style objects cannot look cute would be very much disproved by the enchanting [Radar Scone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attic-above-garden) by Schoolhouse. The [unique light fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-sconce) was inspired by the objects you might find in factories, garages and warehouses yet the piece would look undoubtedly adorable if installed within the home. The quirky design was developed based on the light source of an [industrial parts washer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-lamp) and combined with a stiff metal cord hose and a vintage 1970s electrical box. This chunky square component is detailed with authentic embossed symbols and danger warnings that reinforce the character and the story behind the unusual wall lamp. In spite of the cold and utilitarian elements of the Radar Scone by Schoolhouse, it sports a rounded lampshade with a colorful finish that gives it a fun and friendly quality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Industrial Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create modern and playful designs that draw inspiration from industrial aesthetics. - **Retro Revival:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine vintage elements with modern design to create unique and charming products. - **Quirky Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unconventional and eye-catching lighting fixtures that exhibit personality and character. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Find new ways to incorporate industrial-themed decor into residential and commercial spaces. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and techniques to create innovative and whimsical lighting products. - **Home Decor Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Curate a product line that features retro-inspired and quirky lighting fixtures to cater to design-savvy consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outlet-Equipped Workstation Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avro-pendant-lamp.md) - [Material-Exploring Industrial-Style Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrialstyle-lighting.md) - [Shell-Like Structural Wall Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barnacle-wall-sconce.md) - [Flower-Inspired Sconce Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daisy-sconce.md) - [Railway-Inspired Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insulator-lighting.md) - [Printed Circuit Sconces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-circuit.md) - [Geometric Industrial Desktop Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-lamp.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Brutalist Bedside Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vestige-lamp.md)
