# Cable-Bound Illuminators The Super-Lite Classic Lamp Gets its Lampshade from its Lengthy Cord By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlite-classic References: [blog.2modern](http://blog.2modern.com/2013/03/cable-news.html) & [super-light.de](http://super-light.de/shop/) It takes little more than a light globe and an power cord to make a functional and fabulous light fixture, and the Super-Lite Classic and Freestyle prove it. These basic [pendant lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warp-lamp) have their electrical cables to thank for their unique designs. Dreamed up by Jennie Peiz and Yvonne Fehling of Kraud, the pieces each comprise a 16 Watt lightbulb that's suspended from a lengthy wire, wrapped in soft and shiny [satin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantern-silk-collection). You can purchase the Classic with either a silver, a gold or a white cord and the Freestyle with bright yellow or blue. Unless you have palace-scale high ceilings, you will discover that you've got a greater cable extension than necessary. The Super-Lite Classic is shown with it whimsically wrapped around like a beehive, creating a [lampshade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light) and focusing the light downwards. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Cord-based Lighting Design:** Opportunity for designing lighting fixtures using cords as the main element to create unique and functional designs. - **Sustainable Lighting:** Opportunity for producing sustainable lighting fixtures by using minimal resources to create functional and beautiful lighting. - **Customizable Pendant Lamps:** Opportunity for designing customizable pendant lamps by allowing customers to choose the color of the cord that best suits their personal style. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting Design:** Innovative lighting design companies can use cords to create unique and sustainable lighting fixtures for both residential and commercial spaces. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can incorporate cord-based lighting designs for those who want simple yet modern lighting fixtures. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can use customizable pendant lamps with cords to attract and cater to customers who appreciate unique lighting design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Outlet-Equipped Workstation Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avro-pendant-lamp.md) - [Monkey Knot-Integrated Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-knot-pendant-lamp.md) - [Linear Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superwire.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20.md) - [Powered Pendant Illuminations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avro-pendant.md) - [Creative Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drape-light.md) - [Soft Rope Lampshades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hat-collection.md)
