# Gravity Defying Light Fixtures The Tilta Lamp by Scoop Design Resists Toppling Over By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-06-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilta-lamp References: [blog.gessato](http://blog.gessato.com/2012/06/03/tilta-lamp-by-scoope-design/tilta-lamp-scoope-design-12/) & [scoopedesign](http://scoopedesign.com/) How do you prevent something from toppling over? Do what Scoop Design did with the Tilta Lamp and incorporate the inevitable into the model. The beautifully contemporary [floor lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-light-totem-i) is available as a pedestal-like design for rooms in need of a new light source. If there isn't enough space to accommodate for the full-sized Tilta Lamp, the model also comes in a smaller [desk light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp) to illuminate your work as you labor into the long hours of the night. The lamp is made out of basic building materials such as wood, glass and aluminum with a concrete base. The balance between space, design and weight allows the light to be tilted on any of its [octagonal edges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-table-light) without toppling over. The handle on top of the light makes the lamp easily transportable and angled in whichever way one wants. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gravity-defying Lighting:** Using innovative design techniques and balancing materials to create lighting fixtures that resist toppling over. - **Contemporary Lighting Design:** Incorporating modern aesthetics and materials, such as wood, glass, and aluminum, into lighting design. - **Versatile Lighting:** Creating lighting fixtures in different sizes and styles for various spaces and needs. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Offering innovative lighting solutions for designers and architects looking to incorporate functional and unique lighting fixtures into residential and commercial spaces. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Providing opportunities for furniture manufacturers to create a partnership with lighting designers to create functional and versatile lighting fixtures. - **Home Decor Retail:** Offering a new and unique product to customers looking for modern and versatile lighting options for their homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant Axis-Mounted Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendulum-lamp.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Archetypal Conical Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragile-lamp.md) - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuloa.md) - [3D-Printed Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt.md) - [Sleek Rechargeable Marbled Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-table-light.md) - [Dynamic Bookend Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stair-table.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md)
