# Minimalist Tubular Lamps The 'Less for Less' Desk Lamp Looks Like a Floating 2D Right Angle By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-09-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubular-lamps References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/less-for-less-desk-lamp/) & [store.luminaire](http://store.luminaire.com/lighting/less-for-less-desk-lamp) This line of tubular lamps showcases the epitome of the "less is more" concept in the design world. Made from a single metal tube, the lamp sticks straight out of a desk and makes one sharp curve on a 90 degree angle to complete itself. The design of this lamp is minimalist to the point of barely existing. It takes up virtually no space, with room underneath, beside or behind it for other things. Designed by Davide Groppi, the [thin tubular lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-light-totem-i) are appropriately named the 'Less for Less Desk Lamps.' Even the stand is nearly non-existent, with a tiny circle that surrounds the base of the tube. With [LED lights neatly integrated](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20) into the upper section, this is the perfect piece of home decor for someone with an abundance of clutter, a tiny amount of space or who is simply the ultimate fan of minimalism. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 77% | 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 - **Minimalist Lighting:** The minimalist design of the tubular lamps showcases the trend towards simple and understated lighting fixtures. - **Space-saving Design:** The 'Less for Less' desk lamp capitalizes on the trend towards compact and efficient lighting solutions. - **Integrated LED Lights:** The integration of LED lights in the tubular lamps highlights the trend towards energy-efficient and sustainable lighting options. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** The minimalist tubular lamps cater to the growing demand for sleek and minimalist lighting fixtures in interior design. - **Home Organization:** The space-saving design of the 'Less for Less' desk lamp offers innovative solutions for organizing small living spaces. - **Lighting Technology:** The integrated LED lights in the tubular lamps represent a disruptive innovation in the lighting technology industry, offering energy-efficient and long-lasting lighting solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Saving Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-desk-lamp.md) - [Weighted Multi-Position Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-desk-lamp-design.md) - [Minimal Aesthetic Light Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-light.md) - [Sleek Minimal Vertical Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mute-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Workstation Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-lamp-concept.md) - [Minimal Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20.md) - [Flatpack Minimalist Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-loop-lamp.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md)
