# Sagging Strip Floor Lamps The SOL Source of Light is Defined by a Sliding Glowing Strip By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-02-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-source-of-light References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/SOL/2975059) The operation of the SOL (Source of Light) Lamp unexpectedly has a great deal in common with the way that you drawn your window blinds open and shut. The unique fixture has a long set of tracks that cantilever horizontally, acting as a frame for a [flexible ribbon-like light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superwire) that can be pulled tightly or loosened depending on preference. A sturdy cubic base holds the slender metal spine of the [floor lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp) steady, allowing it to support the weight of its lateral arm, extending about 2 meters sideways, at a length greater to the height of the stand. These parallel components are extremely fine and hold the glowing strip. This feature of Jin Woo Han's SOL can be caused to straighten and sag in order to affect the [direction of illumination](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sliding Glowing Strip:** The trend of using a flexible ribbon-like light that can be pulled tightly or loosened to control illumination direction. - **Cantilevered Tracks:** The trend of using long tracks that act as a frame for the flexible light strip in order to create a unique lighting fixture. - **Sagging and Straightening:** The trend of incorporating the ability to sag and straighten the light strip to control the direction of illumination. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can explore opportunities to create innovative fixtures using sliding glowing strips and cantilevered tracks. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can incorporate sagging and straightening capabilities into floor lamps to create unique and adjustable lighting solutions. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage the trend of sliding glowing strips to create customized lighting designs with unique illumination directions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simplistic Angular Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-table-lamp.md) - [Umbrella-Inspired Whimsical Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasaga-lamp.md) - [Illusory Multidimensional Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-light.md) - [Sculptural Lunar Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonsetter-floor-lamp.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Organically Shaped Shadow Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp.md) - [Modern Dynamic Structural Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-table-light.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [Modular LED Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ilo-lamp.md)
