Smart Lamp Vases

Gingko's Smart Vase Light is a Design That Does Double Duty

— August 18, 2021 — Art & Design
The Smart Vase Light by Gingko is a two-in-one piece of functional decor for the home that merges the features of an illuminator with a flower holder. The hybrid design makes it easy to refresh the look of home decor at any time, since simply swapping out one colorful flower for another has the potential to totally change the feel of the environment. Additionally, the design could be used for just one purpose or the other, although flicking the light on instantly adds warmth and comfort to any interior space.

The lamp itself is made from heat-safe and waterproof Tyvek paper and it creates a soft glow through accordion-shaped folds and a 3W LED light source, plus a battery.
Trend Themes
1. Two-in-one Design - The trend of creating products that serve multiple purposes, such as merging lamps with flower vases, opens up opportunities to innovate and disrupt traditional single-purpose products.
2. Functional Decor - Home decor items that serve not only an aesthetic purpose but also a functional one, like the Smart Vase Light, create opportunities for disruptive innovation in the home goods industry.
3. Customizable Decor - The ability to easily swap out flowers in a lamp vase like the Smart Vase Light creates a trend towards personalized and easily customizable home decor solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Home Goods and Decor - The merging of design and functionality in home goods creates opportunities for disruption in the industry by manufacturers who can offer multi-purpose, customizable, and aesthetically pleasing products.
2. Lighting - Incorporating lighting into home decor products like the Smart Vase Light could open up opportunities for lighting companies to create new, innovative products that seamlessly blend light and function.
3. Floral Design - The integration of flower holding capabilities in a functional product like the Smart Vase Light could pave the way for disruption in the floral design industry by offering new solutions for home and event decor.
