# Porcupine Lamps The Touch Light Concept is Straight to the Point By Alex Scott | Published 2010-04-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-light-concept References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/Gallery/Touch-your-light/424278) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Sloo_Bienvenu) Having a [light fixture hanging on your wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impulse-wall-light) shaped like a bed of nails is always a good conversation starter. The Touch Light Concept may just be the most original looking lamp I have ever seen. Of course, it's not enough just to look original, you have to feel original as well. The Touch Light Concept is made up of about a million [little quill-like bulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-lighting) that only come on once you stroke them. This might be a fun item to freak your friends out with--tell them it's really sharp and then jam your hand into it. They'll all shriek in horror. Oh, the fun you'll have. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 33% | 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Lighting:** The Touch Light Concept showcases a trend towards interactive lighting fixtures that respond to touch or movement. - **Novelty Home Decor:** Porcupine Lamps represent a trend towards quirky and unique home decor that makes a statement and serves as a conversation starter. - **Tactile Technology:** The Touch Light Concept incorporates a trend towards technology that responds to touch and mimics the feel of natural materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can take advantage of the trend towards quirky home decor by incorporating Porcupine Lamps into their designs for clients looking for a statement piece. - **Smart Lighting:** Companies specializing in smart lighting can adapt the trend towards touch-responsive fixtures by incorporating similar technology into their products, potentially appealing to consumers who value interactivity and customization in lighting. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can capitalize on the trend towards tactile technology by developing and marketing products that mimic the feel of natural materials or respond to human touch for a more sensory experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap-tap-table-lamp.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [Malleable Connected Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pofu-lamp.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Pencil Shaving-Inspired Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpener-lampshades.md) - [Ambient Aesthetically Pleasing Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pofu.md) - [Touch-Enhanced Glass Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolita.md) - [Geometric Nostalgic Night Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmaid-table-lamp.md) - [Multifunctional Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boring-lamp.md)
