# Minimalist Industrial Lighting 'Slims' is a Set of Lamps by Studio Beam By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-beam References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/studio-beam-slims-collection-lamps-08-23-2014/) & [studio-beam](http://studio-beam.com/) The designers at [Studio Beam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orb-lamp1) wanted to come up with a lamp that had an industrial look, but not a bulky feel. As such they recently put forward the 'Slims' collection using [metal wiring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape) and a [minimalist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mute-lamp). The material used is what makes the lamps look industrial, but due to the way the creatives crafted and melded the metal together, each item is still quite small. They come in five separate designs, all with human-like names including Billy-Bob, Rufus, and Ellie Mae. The coloring of each lamp also helps to give the items a noticeable look, and potential buyers have five different hues to choose from. For lamps, Slims from Studio Beam offers the perfect balance between a minimalist look and an overall industrial feel.
