Spherical with land masses mapped out, it nevertheless has a do-it-yourself vintage feel that has nothing to do with the actual age of the designs. Instead, the Ululi-Ulula Collection makes use of [painted fiberglass and lace inserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/see-earth) to achieve its unique appeal. Designed by Matteo Ugolini for Italian manufacturer [Karman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-mesh-office-chair), the Ululi-Ulula Collection is comprised of various sizes and can be [suspended from the ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light), rested on tabletops or even on the floor. It even comes in two finishes: bronze or silver. Although the designs present throughout the Ululi-Ulula Collection clearly look like the earth, it is written on the Karman website, "We give you the Moon: inspiring art, projects and dreams…." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Globe-inspired Lighting:** Opportunity to design unique lighting fixtures with globe-inspired designs using innovative materials and techniques. - **Diy-style Home Decor:** Incorporating do-it-yourself aesthetics and techniques into home decor and accessories. - **Mixed Materials:** Using a variety of materials, such as fiberglass and lace, to create unique design concepts. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Opportunities for interior designers to create and market unique, do-it-yourself style home decor and lighting fixtures. - **Lighting Design:** New innovation opportunities for lighting designers to develop globe-inspired lighting fixtures using mixed materials. - **Art and Design Retail:** Retailers can offer unique globe-inspired home decor and lighting fixtures to appeal to customers seeking do-it-yourself-style designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Volcanic Stone Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foscarini-lava-lamps.md) - [Moon-Inspired Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lua.md) - [Blown Glass-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luisa-collection.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upglas-collection.md) - [Astronomical Concept-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copernica.md) - [Molten Glass Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foscarini-1.md) - [Otherworldly Lighting Fixture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-lighting-fixture.md) - [Cosmic-Inspired Lamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aureole.md) - [Concentric Geometric Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caleide.md)
