# Transparent LEGO Chandelier Tobias Tostesen Creates a Sophisticated Fixture Out of Toys By Meghan Young | Published 2013-04-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tobias-tostesen References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/2013/04/16/transparent-lego-chandelier/) & [madeinschool.dk](http://madeinschool.dk/tobias-toestesen) Tobias Tostesen has elected to use an unorthodox material to build a [massive luxurious chandelier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-harry-nuriev). A transparent wonder, it could be likened to similar crystal creations. Nevertheless, this particular light fixture has been fashioned out of clear [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-led-lamp) pieces. Who knew those even existed? A fifth year industrial design student at Kolding School of Design in Denmark, Tobias Tostesen started to make a name for himself with the [Larch Table](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/larch-table-by-tobias-tostesen). Made out of nearly 8,000 LEGO pieces, Tobias Tostesen's chandelier takes on a tiered circular shape that could easily fit a human body or two within. Yet there appears to be another similar structure somewhat hidden within Tobias Tostesen's design. This gives the chandelier an added sense of dimension that elevates the look of the light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 38% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Transparent LEGO Chandelier:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the lighting industry by exploring unconventional materials and designs. - **Crystal Creations:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home decor industry by experimenting with alternative materials for crystal-like creations. - **Tiered Circular Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the furniture industry by incorporating tiered circular designs in unique and unexpected ways. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the lighting industry by exploring unconventional materials and designs. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home decor industry by experimenting with alternative materials for crystal-like creations. - **Furniture:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the furniture industry by incorporating tiered circular designs in unique and unexpected ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Antique-Style Building Block Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-led-lamp.md) - [Playful Brick-Born Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-lamps-1.md) - [Dynamic Artful Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-chandelier.md) - [Dynamic Hand-Blown Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris.md) - [Sculptural Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamar-grande-chandelier.md) - [Unconventional Modular Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-kaleido-series.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Building Block-Inspired Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-x-room-copenhagen.md) - [Reflective Kaleidoscope-Inspired Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kalegoidoscope.md)
