# Firm Draped Fixtures These Soft Lights by Rainer Mutsch Have the Delicate Appearance of Fabric By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-10-06 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-lights-by-rainer-mutsch References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2013/10/05/soft-lights-by-rainer-mutsch/) & [rainermutsch.net](http://www.rainermutsch.net/products_soft.php) These lovely Soft Lights by Rainer Mutsch have a greatly different look from typical fixtures. [Wall and pendant lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warp-lamp) are often made from very hard materials like glass and metal and the only gentle aesthetic is achieved with muted colors, diffuse illumination and warm lightbulbs. Working with manufacturer Molto Luce, the designer chose to use [fiber cement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito) to make this series of room brighteners. Eternit's eco-friendly material is made from cellulose fibers and water to produce a substance that can be hand-molded into forms that resemble [delicate drapery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hat-collection). It might be hard, but it doesn't appear so. The subtle folds and undulations in the illuminators really soften the atmosphere in the room. Soft Lights by Rainer Mutsch would be especially fitting in bedrooms and in lounges. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 62% | 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) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Lighting Designs:** Creating lighting fixtures with sustainable materials such as fiber cement can be a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the lighting industry. - **Soft and Delicate Illuminators:** Focusing on the aesthetic of creating soft and delicate-looking lighting fixtures can be a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the lighting industry. - **Hand-molded Lighting Fixtures:** The utilization of hand-molded techniques for creating lighting fixtures could be a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the lighting industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting Industry:** The lighting industry has the potential to innovate by focusing on the use of sustainable materials, soft aesthetics, and hand-molded techniques to enhance their lighting fixtures. - **Home Decor Industry:** The use of Soft Lights by Rainer Mutsch could provide a disruptive innovation opportunity for the home decor industry in terms of enhancing the atmosphere of bedrooms and lounges. - **Sustainable Materials Industry:** The sustainable materials industry can strive to provide more eco-friendly materials like fiber cement for lighting and other design applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drape-light.md) - [Wool Translucent Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow.md) - [Minimally Designed Ethereal Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass.md) - [Translucent Bulbous Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light.md) - [3D-Printed Cloud-Like Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass-2025-pendants.md) - [Soft Luxe Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-silk-collection.md) - [Dynamic Geometric Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drape-light.md) - [Organic Cloud-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khmara.md) - [Metal Pleated Wall Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donna-wall-light.md)
