The lamp is characterized by its lamp-shaped construction that is achieved with [100% recycled materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection) that have been [3D-printed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souffl-lamp) and formed with a functionless lightbulb on the interior. The frame of the lamp is the portion that will actually illuminate to provide passive or targeted lighting according to the preferences of the user. The 'Revolve' lamp maintains a clean, elegant construction that literally flips the design aesthetic of conventional lamps on their head to make it great for placement in the homes of digital creatives or those with a penchant for unexpected design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **3d-printed Lighting:** Using 100% recycled materials and 3D-printing to construct new lighting solutions presents an opportunity for sustainable and customizable designs. - **Functionless Design:** Emphasizing the form of lighting objects, rather than their intended use as a source of light, shifts the focus to aesthetics, and presents an opportunity for statement decor pieces. - **Upside-down Lighting:** Challenging conventional lighting designs with upside-down, suspended, or unconventional arrangements presents an opportunity for bold and original lighting solutions. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The trend towards unique lighting designs presents an opportunity for home decor companies, and particularly those that emphasize sustainable and customizable products. - **3D Printing:** The use of 3D printing and recycled materials in lamp construction could present an opportunity for 3D printing companies to expand their offerings into the home goods market. - **Art and Design:** Functionless lighting designs blur the line between form and function, and may present an opportunity for artists and designers to create statement lighting pieces that push the boundaries of conventional design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt.md) - [Minimalist 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-lamp1.md) - [3D-Printed Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/her-floor-lamp.md) - [Maze-Inspired 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-lamp.md) - [Cutesy Coiled Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-helix-lamp.md) - [Simplistically Complex 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sopp-lamp.md) - [Playful 3D-Printed Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emil-robbrecht.md) - [3D-Printed Aquatic Life Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooj-design-wavy-lamp.md) - [Colorful 3D-Printed Portable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-soft-serve-lamp.md)
