# Wine Bottle Lamps This Upcycled Lamp Uses Sustainable Resources for an Elegant and Quirky Design By Gurveer Brah | Published 2015-09-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-lamp References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2015/09/07/go-home-lamp-youre-drunk/) & [ryanjongwoochoi](http://www.ryanjongwoochoi.com/2015/08/works.html) This upcycled lamp features a quirky, yet contemporary design that creates an amorous ambience. The 'Edge Lamp' was created as a upcycling project by Ryan Jongwoo Choi. The piece is both sustainable and minimalistic -- using only a [glass bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upglas-collection) and a piece of wood to create an elegant piece. This playful bottle is a design using an unorthodox cut to the wine bottle -- giving it a leaning appearance -- the bottle is then taped to a [wooden base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-soul) for support. The upcycled lamp also uses a red cord to hide the seam at the base of the bottle. This subtle lighting from inside the bottle provides the optimum lighting to create a romantic atmosphere in a cozy, contemporary setting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Upcycling:** Create innovative designs by repurposing materials and utilizing sustainable resources. - **Minimalistic Lighting:** Design simple and elegant lighting fixtures that create a cozy atmosphere. - **Quirky Contemporary Designs:** Develop unique and playful designs that add character to modern spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Revamp the home decor industry by offering eco-friendly and stylish upcycled products. - **Lighting:** Introduce minimalist lighting solutions that combine aesthetics and functionality. - **Interior Design:** Bring creativity and individuality to interior spaces through quirky and contemporary designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Modern Marble Waste Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sole-lamp.md) - [Urban Debris-Crafted Portable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remli.md) - [Glowing Organic-Waste Sustainable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova-terra.md) - [3D-Printed Reversed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolve-lamp.md) - [Unique Upcycled Serving Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-wine-bottle-appetizer-tray.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Sculptural Sustainable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scoop-lamp.md)
