# Totem Pole-Like Lighting The Remain in Balance Lamp Collection is Funkily Hand-Painted By Meghan Young | Published 2013-03-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remain-in-balance-lamp References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2013/3/steven-harrington-x-case-studyo-remain-in-balance-lamp-collection) & [stevenharrington](http://stevenharrington.com/) The Remain in Balance Lamp collection appears to be a combination of two art forms: totem poles and rock balancing. Mix in a bit of a graffiti element and a funky home decor is born. Considering it is a collaborative effort between Los Angeles-based artist and designer Steven Harrington, who is known for his contemporary Californian psychedelic-pop aesthetic, and publisher [Case Studyo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroomshaped-table-lamp), it is no surprise that the light fixtures have a street art edge. Comprised of three different designs, each light fixture in the Remain in Balance Lamp collection is made up of a variety of wood types including Beech, [Pine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pine-heath), [Tulip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowerthemed-stamp-collection) and Meranti. Carved into odd shapes, they have been hand-painted with everything from geometric patterns to character-filled eyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Totem Pole-like Lighting:** Use of totem pole-like structures in lighting fixtures creates an opportunity for designers to create visually intriguing decorative pieces with a blend of modern and traditional elements. - **Funky Home Decor:** The funky hand-painted designs of the Remain in Balance Lamp collection create an opportunity for designers and home decor companies to tap into the growing trend of eclectic and playful home decor. - **Collaborative Diverse Designs:** The collaborative effort between a contemporary Californian psychedelic-pop artist and a publisher to create the Remain in Balance Lamp collection opens up an opportunity for other industries to explore collaborations to create unique products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** The Remain in Balance Lamp collection creates an opportunity for home decor companies to tap into the trend of funky and eclectic home decor through unique lighting fixtures. - **Art and Design:** The use of totem pole-like structures and graffiti elements in the Remain in Balance Lamp collection creates an opportunity for artists and designers to explore new ways of blending traditional and modern art forms. - **Publishing:** The collaborative effort between artist Steven Harrington and publisher Case Studyo to create the Remain in Balance Lamp collection exemplifies an opportunity for publishing to explore new partnerships that can lead to unique product lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Totemic Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-relics.md) - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Organically Fluid Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-collection.md) - [Artfully Liquid-Like Light Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Playful Table Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toto-lamp.md) - [Kinetic Insect Sculpture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonfly-balance-light.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Experimental Ancestral Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kawabi.md)
