San Diego-based designer Marcus Papay unveiled his Sinuous Lights at the San Diego Contemporary Art Fair. The [cylindrical shape of the lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobine) was achieved by literally winding resin material around a cylinder column. For those who don't know, resin is a plant fiber; it can refer to thick liquids that harden into transparent materials.

Any interior designer will tell you, a good light fixture can make all the difference. If you're redecorating a space in your home, you might consider these artsy lamps as a way to brighten up the space -- literally.

Puns aside, Papay's work is truly exceptional. He has created a [colorful, lightweight design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito) that adds instant cheer to any room, yet is different enough to be considered a [statement piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serpente-lamp).
