# Traditional Tower-Inspired Lamps The 'Pagoda Lamp' Takes After Pagodas for a Thoughtful Form By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2023-07-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pagoda-lamp References: [tuvie](https://www.tuvie.com/pagoda-lamp-buddhist-pagodas-inspired-desk-lamp/) & [brucetao.myportfolio](https://brucetao.myportfolio.com/)  The 'Pagoda Lamp' is a simple illuminator for the desktop that showcases an [architectural aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juba-tl1-table-lamp) with an [interactive form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap-tap-table-lamp) to make it well-suited for the modern workstation. The lamp features a series of [stacked components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi) that combine to create a multi-tiered form that requires interaction to be activated. The user must twist the lamp to raise or lower the brightness with the completely twisted version acting as the brightest level. The artful decor piece is inspired by Buddhist pagodas as a nod to the path to enlightenment. The 'Pagoda Lamp' is the design work of Bruce Tao, Zhihao Zhao, Xizi Wang, Li Zhao, Zixing Zhu and Mengyu Su, and provides passive or targeted illumination to suit the preferences or needs of the user. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 16% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop interactive lighting solutions that require user interaction for activation. - **Architectural Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate architectural design elements into everyday products for a unique and aesthetically pleasing user experience. - **Mindful Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products that are inspired by mindfulness and spirituality, providing a deeper connection to the user. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine functionality and artistic design in interior lighting solutions. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate home decor products that provide a multi-functional and interactive experience. - **Wellness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate mindfulness and spirituality into wellness products and solutions for a holistic user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Zen Workstation Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonsai-desk-lamp.md) - [Bamboo-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-desk-lamp.md) - [Stackable Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/module-table-lamp.md) - [Scenic Architecture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-inspired-table-lamp.md) - [Storage-Friendly Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storage-lamp.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Simplistic Angular Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-table-lamp.md) - [Demure Designer Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-desk-lamp.md) - [Spiritually Inspired Artisanal Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triris.md)
