Supported by wire bent frames, these 'lighTIN' lamps by Thomas Stanley feature recycled beer cans as its head. The lamp can hold bulbs that last up to 50,000 hours, meaning you wouldn't have to replace them for a while. If beer cans aren't your taste however, there are other cans that are available for purchase as well. Its simplistic design and function is perfect for anyone who wants to decorate their desk while being environmentally friendly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Lighting:** Opportunity to create more lighting products that utilize recycled materials and promote sustainability. - **Upcycled Design:** Opportunity to incorporate upcycled materials into furniture and home decor design. - **Sustainable Innovation:** Opportunity to develop innovative and eco-friendly products that appeal to the environmentally conscious consumer market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor Industry:** Industry can create more sustainable and eco-friendly products to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Lighting Industry:** Industry can create more lighting products that use recycled materials and energy-efficient bulbs to promote sustainability. - **Beer Industry:** Industry can explore ways to upcycle beer cans and other materials for a more sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing process. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Material Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-cleo-lamp.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Glowing Organic-Waste Sustainable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova-terra.md) - [Sustainable Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern.md) - [Eco-Friendly Textured Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-lamp-series.md) - [Sustainable Cylindrical Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackabl-lighting-collection.md) - [Oversized Pen Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-lamp.md) - [Wireless Lamp Renditions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-dixon-portable.md) - [Reclaimed Industrial Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-lamp.md)
