# Luminous Skeletal Lighting Kelly Lamb's Skull Chandelier Looks Like it is Falling in Slow Motion By Meghan Young | Published 2011-06-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skull-chandelier References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/kelly_lambs_skull_chandelier_and_geodesic_everything_19715.asp) & [kellylamb.net](http://www.kellylamb.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15&Itemid=18) The [Skull Chandelier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-skull-with-hidden-organs) might not be for everyone, but if you are a lover of anatomy, Halloween or simply lead a relatively Goth lifestyle, than this light fixture is just for you. Clearly painstakingly created, it features a huge number of strung-up light bulbs that stunningly form a human skull, hence its name. Created by Kelly Lamb, who is a L.A.-based multimedia artist and designer and is represented by [Areaware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-structures) in New York City, the Skull Chandelier is more of an art piece than an everyday light fixture for the home. In fact, the Skull Chandelier looks as though it is falling in slow motion thanks to the streaks created by the string holding the shape in place. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gothic Lighting Design:** There is an opportunity for designers to create more Gothic lighting fixtures to cater to a growing market of individuals who appreciate the aesthetic. - **Anatomical Home Decor:** As individuals continue to have a fascination with anatomy, there is an opportunity for businesses to develop more anatomically themed home decor pieces. - **Skeletal Art Installations:** There is potential for artists to create more large-scale skeletal art installations for public spaces such as galleries and museums. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Interior designers could integrate more Gothic-themed decor pieces such as the Skull Chandelier for clients with alternative tastes. - **Artistic Design:** Artistic designers could create more anatomically-themed pieces to cater to the growing popularity of anatomy and science in art. - **Event Planning:** Event planners could create unique and unconventional themed events using skeletal art installations as decor focal points. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Contemporary Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volant.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Sculptural Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamar-grande-chandelier.md) - [Jewel-Inspired Chandelier Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-chandelier.md) - [Sleek Structural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotional-lab-light.md) - [Plant-Inspired Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Silkworm-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-lighting.md) - [Intricate Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-pendant-light.md)
