# Timber Tripod Lighting Spiff Lamp Takes its Three-Legged Lumber Form from Delightful Toy Design By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiff-lamp References: [gridy.no](http://www.gridy.no/norway/spiff.html) The concept of having fun with interior design is explored enchantingly in the Spiff Lamp. A thick frame of traditional Nordic wood has been assembled in an unconventional arrangement, complete with timber hinges and a hidden cord track. The moveable joint allows the user to [adjust the angle of the light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp), whether it is used as a table lamp or a climbing wall fixture. According to the creators, the composition of this playful piece was inspired by [wooden toy design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobine). With this in mind, perhaps you'll consider the anatomy of the illuminator in a different light? Looking at this peculiar object by the Gridy studio of Norway, I picture the form of the Spiff Lamp as a person's upper body with the lampshade as the head and the shorter two limbs as the arms. There it lies, looking up to give you light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Playful Interior Design:** Exploring the concept of having fun with interior design, there are opportunities for innovative and creative lighting solutions. - **Unconventional Furniture Arrangements:** Adopting unconventional arrangements in furniture design, there is potential for creating unique and versatile lighting fixtures. - **Inspiration From Toy Design:** Drawing inspiration from toy design, there is room for designing lighting products that evoke nostalgia and playfulness. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** In the field of interior design, there are opportunities for incorporating playful and unconventional lighting solutions into residential and commercial spaces. - **Furniture Design:** Within the furniture design industry, there is potential for creating innovative and eye-catching lighting fixtures that can serve as functional and aesthetically pleasing pieces. - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can explore opportunities to collaborate with lighting designers to create lighting products inspired by toy design, offering unique and whimsical options for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Folded Timber Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp.md) - [Compact Geometric Portable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pivot-lamp.md) - [Twisting Timber Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-lasercut-wooden-lampshade.md) - [Screw-Inspired Industrial Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/set-table-lamp.md) - [Tiltable Dimmable Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nod-lamp.md) - [Bold Playful Lighting Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-lebow-table-lamp.md) - [Shape-Shifting Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi.md) - [Umbrella-Inspired Whimsical Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasaga-lamp.md) - [Pine Wood-Inspired Minimal Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jakobsson.md)
