Instead of a typical lampshade or an untouched glass cover, the Tint Lamp boasts a modern [stained glass detail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foscarini-1) that gives it a unique and sophisticated overall look. Created by London-based Norwegian designer Magnus Pettersen, the Tint Lamp also pairs two unlikely materials together: [glass and concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp). the fragile nature of one beautifully balances the sturdy presence of the other, creating a harmony between the two that is completely feng shui. According to Pettersen, by “using black concrete and a warm coloured glass, [it] transforms the hard materials into an object which suits an interior environment.” Debuting during the 100% Norway exhibition, the Tint Lamp will definitely steal the show. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stained Glass Lighting:** Using stained glass in lighting fixtures creates a unique and sophisticated look, offering a disruptive innovation opportunity for the lighting industry. - **Unconventional Material Pairing:** Pairing unlikely materials, such as glass and concrete, in design creates a harmonious and visually striking effect, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity for the materials industry. - **Feng Shui Inspired Design:** Incorporating elements of feng shui in design, like balancing delicate and sturdy materials, creates an aesthetically pleasing and harmonious environment, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity for the interior design industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting:** The use of stained glass in lighting fixtures presents a disruptive innovation opportunity by offering unique and visually appealing options for lighting designers. - **Materials:** Exploring unconventional material pairings, such as glass and concrete, unlocks new possibilities for designers and manufacturers, leading to disruptive innovations in the materials industry. - **Interior Design:** Integrating feng shui principles, such as balancing delicate and sturdy materials, in interior design enhances the aesthetic appeal and creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuloa.md) - [Twisting Timber Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-lasercut-wooden-lampshade.md) - [Brutalist Bedside Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vestige-lamp.md) - [Perforated LED Table Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [Elegant Metal Perforated Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreshadow-table-lamp.md) - [Scenic Architecture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-inspired-table-lamp.md) - [Playful Table Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toto-lamp.md)
