# Deconstructed Table Light Lamps The 'Galv_' Lamp Features Bent Sheet Metal and a Bare Edison Bulb By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-light-lamp References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/11/23/rustic-mod-lighting/) A shift towards [minimalism in design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-light) has created a number of items being created by designers that take the concept to a whole new level, as seen with the 'Galv_' table light lamp. Designed by Carlos Manuel Gouveia Borges, the 'Galv_' lamp consists of a [bent piece of sheet metal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape) that has been shaped into a somewhat abstract shape. This is paired with an Edison-style bulb that is put on display at the top-front of the lamp to create a warm lighting that is in juxtaposition to the metal base below. The 'Galv_' table light lamp features a cork-covered socket to add additional texture and variety, which adds to the overall aesthetic to make the lamp an exercise in retro/modern futurism. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Minimalist Lighting Designs:** There is an opportunity to create more lighting designs that focus on minimalism and simplicity. - **Integration of Retro and Modern Design Elements in Lighting:** There is potential to explore the combination of retro and modern design elements in lighting design to create unique and unexpected pieces. - **Use of Unconventional Materials in Lighting Design:** There is potential for designers to experiment with unconventional materials in lighting design, such as sheet metal, to create unique and visually striking pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting Design:** Lighting designers can search for ways to incorporate unconventional materials and unique design elements to create eye-catching pieces. - **Home Decor:** The minimalist and unique design of the 'Galv_' lamp could inspire designers to create similar pieces that fit into modern home decor trends. - **Industrial Design:** The use of sheet metal in the 'Galv_' lamp presents an opportunity for industrial designers to experiment with unconventional materials and techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-lamp.md) - [Simplistic Angular Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-table-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20.md) - [Brutalist Bedside Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vestige-lamp.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Interconnecting Component Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-lamp.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Flatpack Minimalist Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-loop-lamp.md) - [Sleek Contemporary Metal-Encased Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/library-lamp.md)
