# Suspended Easter Eggchitecture The Shanghai Chandelier by SPARCH Architects By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shanghai-chandelier References: [fastcompany](http://www.fastcompany.com/1566323/floating-architecture-docks-in-shanghai) & [sparchasia](http://www.sparchasia.com/) Perhaps it's because Easter is around the corner or perhaps it's because it truly does resemble those [colorful eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humansized-egg-installation) that litter homes around that time, but either way the [Shanghai Chandelier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zara-huaihai-road) is making me crave some chocolate. Designed by SPARCH Architects, the Shanghai Chandelier is set out to be a set of restaurants and bars in anticipation of the 2010 Expo. Centered around the theme 'Better City, Better Life,' it will certainly brighten up new cruise ship terminal being built by SPARCH. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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's Driving This Trend - **Colorful Chandelier Designs:** Exploring innovative and vibrant chandelier designs that add a pop of color and unique aesthetic to spaces. - **Easter-themed Architecture:** Incorporating elements of Easter and its associated symbolism into architectural designs to create visually appealing and thematic spaces. - **Integration of Theme in Commercial Spaces:** Creating immersive commercial spaces that are centered around a specific theme, such as the 'Better City, Better Life' concept in the Shanghai Chandelier. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Exploring potential partnerships with architects and designers to create unique and captivating chandelier designs for residential and commercial spaces. - **Hospitality:** Developing Easter-themed restaurants and bars that offer an immersive dining experience and attract customers looking for unique and visually appealing venues. - **Event Planning:** Incorporating thematic elements, such as the 'Better City, Better Life' concept, into event venues to create memorable and visually stunning experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Inspired Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier.md) - [Fried Egg-Inspired Canopy Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunny-side-up-extension.md) - [Jewel-Inspired Chandelier Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-chandelier.md) - [Minimalist Experimental Egg Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-egg-racks.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Sculptural Contemporary Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volant.md) - [Pyramid-Shaped Chocolate Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgy-egg.md) - [Building-Nestled Compact Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chapel-cafe.md) - [Maximalist Chandelier Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-harry-nuriev.md)
