# Cardboard Campfire Lighting Let the Urban Camper Project by Chieh-Ting Huang Light Up Your Life By Marie | Published 2011-09-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-camper-project References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/archives/025170.php) & [urbancamper2011.tumblr](http://urbancamper2011.tumblr.com/post/9552527178) The end of warm summer nights doesn't mean having to give up friendly campfire gatherings, as proven by the Chieh-Ting Huang 'Urban Camper' project. Using [wood, paper and other natural fibers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp), the U.K.-based artist created [four lamp models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito), each recreating and symbolizing a part of nature found in an average outdoor camping experience. "Aiming to create an urban camping experience, people can gather around the campfire and celebrate the beauty and the brightness that lighting brought to us," explains Huang on his website. The lanterns not only act as great conversation pieces, but are a wonderfully warm design touch to any modern abode. Chieh-Ting Huang's Urban Camper project is featured in the 2011 London Design Festival, which runs from Sept. 17 to Sept. 25. This is one exhibition I'd hate to miss, as it's full of pieces I'd love to have in my own living room. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 32% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Lighting:** There is an opportunity for companies to capitalize on the trend of eco-friendly lighting by creating similar lamps out of recyclable materials. - **Outdoor-inspired Home Decor:** The trend of outdoor-inspired home decor can be leveraged by companies who want to produce designs similar to the Urban Camper project. - **Urban Camping Experience:** Companies can create products and services catered towards the trend of urban camping experience, such as nighttime scavenger hunts or outdoor movie screenings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can capitalize on the trend of eco-friendly lighting by producing similar lamps out of recyclable materials. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can leverage the trend of outdoor-inspired designs by producing products similar to the Urban Camper project. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can create products and services catered towards the trend of urban camping experience, such as nighttime scavenger hunts or outdoor movie screenings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digitized Gas Lamp Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auge-camping-lantern.md) - [Multipurpose Camping Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-lights.md) - [Fireplace-Inspired Campsite Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leacco-camping-lantern.md) - [Origami-Inspired Cubic Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megapuff-lamp.md) - [Bonfire-Inspired Indoor Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iri-lamp.md) - [Collapsible Campsite Torches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tripod-torch.md) - [Outdoor Twisted Light Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-camping-lantern.md) - [Dual-Function Gas Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beacon-lantern.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Camping Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-lantern.md)
