The solar lamp looks just like a plant, and it acts like one too, deriving its energy in the technological equivalent of photosynthesis. 'Sinthesya' has [photovoltaic panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sula) on its outside and 10 LED lights on its underside, according to Yanko Design. Recycled ABS with silicone rubber details make the lamp both eco-friendly and appropriate for outdoor use. **Implications** - The ‘Sinthesya’ solar lamp is very innovative in that it can be used just as easily indoors as it can outdoors. This is certainly a lamp that I would like have. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Lighting:** Designing solar-powered lights with eco-friendly materials that can be used both indoors and outdoors. - **Biomimicry Design:** Mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis to create sustainable energy products. - **Photovoltaic Panels:** Incorporating photovoltaic panels in innovative ways for sustainable energy solutions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Developing eco-friendly lighting solutions for indoor environments. - **Outdoor Lighting:** Designing eco-friendly lighting solutions for outdoor spaces. - **Renewable Energy:** Exploring innovative ways to harness renewable energy, such as through the use of photovoltaic panels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Outdoor Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova.md) - [Money Plant-Inspired Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pilea-lamp.md) - [Solar-Powered Floral Garden Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-tree-house.md) - [Biophilic Garden Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-organism-lights.md) - [Wireless Solar-Powered Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-lights.md) - [Plant-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palmetto-lamp.md) - [Sunlight-Evoking Plant Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equinox-light.md) - [Garden-Filled Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olev-silence-lamp-collection.md) - [Organic Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapso.md)
