# Crystal-Cut Illuminators The Topaze Table Lamp is Modern-Looking and Formally Inspired by Minerals By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topaze-table-lamp References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2014/01/28/topaze-lamp-by-amandine-peyresoubes-nack-petiot.php) & [pygmalionstudio.fr](http://www.pygmalionstudio.fr/topaze.html) The Topaze Table Lamp embodies the marriage of two styles that exude an alluring contemporary aesthetic. Jointly inspired by organic forms and the [minimalist tradition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20), this piece brings detail to a room without any of the visual fuss. Nack Petiot and Amandine Peyresoubes of Pygmalion Studio have designed a squared version and a squat rectangular model of the light fixture. Predominantly, the pieces have been manufactured from [cut sheets of aluminum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreshadow-table-lamp) that then undergo a subtle creasing of the four rounded corners. The effect of the manipulated metal is reminiscent of cut jewel facets. These diffusing lampshade facades are set into [wooden block bases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-table-lamp) that contain and conceal the light sources. The blue and white Topaze Table Lamps emit a bright white glow from behind for a lovely soft atmosphere. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 2% | 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 - **Mineral-inspired Illumination:** There is an opportunity to disrupt the lighting industry by creating a new line of high-end lamps inspired by natural minerals. - **Cut Aluminum Lighting:** The use of cut aluminum sheets in lamp manufacturing can offer a modern and minimalist approach to lighting design. - **Concealed Light Sources:** The trend of concealing light sources within wooden bases is a disruptive innovation opportunity for designers looking to merge style and practicality. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can benefit from incorporating mineral-inspired lighting designs into their product offering to appeal to modern customers. - **Luxury Lighting:** The luxury lighting market can capitalize on the use of cut aluminum sheets and concealed light sources in their designs to offer unique and high-end products. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can seek out lighting fixtures with concealed light sources to achieve a clean and minimalist aesthetic in their projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Futuristic Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futuristic-table-lamp.md) - [Award-Winning Colorful Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u-table-lamp.md) - [Architecturally Elegant Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juba-tl1-table-lamp.md) - [Simplistic Angular Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-table-lamp.md) - [Hand-Cast Crystal Glowing Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nola-lamp.md) - [Elegant Compact Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-table-light.md) - [Geometric White Onyx Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embrun-lighting.md) - [Sculptural Metal Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape.md) - [Minimalist Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20.md)
