# Healthy Table Lamps Peter Marigold's Vegetable Light Looks Like a Science Experiment By Meghan Young | Published 2011-01-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetable-light References: [itsnicethat](http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/peter-marigold-vegetable-light) & [petermarigold](http://www.petermarigold.com/vegetable_light.html) The Vegetable Light looks like something out of a high school science class. Of course, although there's a charm about its eclectic look, there's nothing half-fast about it. Instead, it's experimental in a good way. Designed by Peter Marigold, the Vegetable Light is made up of a [heavy vegetable base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-lamp), a conductive fork and light bulb. This handmade [table lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-lamp) is not only [sculptural](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-table-lamp), it is also very unique. It is available to be purchased online at Design Marketo for $85. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Sculptural Lighting:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create unique and experimental lighting fixtures. - **Organic Material Usage:** Opportunity for companies to incorporate sustainable and unconventional materials into their product designs. - **Handmade Products:** Opportunity for artisanal makers and craftsmen to create bespoke products that combine form and function. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** The Vegetable Light represents a new trend in sculptural lighting that could inspire interior designers to rethink traditional lighting fixtures. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** The use of vegetable-based materials in the Vegetable Light could inspire sustainable manufacturers to explore new organic materials in their products. - **Artisanal Crafts:** The Vegetable Light is a handmade table lamp that showcases the value of artisanal craftsmanship in product design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Mushroom-Shaped Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroomshaped-table-lamp.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-lights.md) - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Plant-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palmetto-lamp.md) - [Elegant Compact Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-table-light.md) - [Sleek Rechargeable Marbled Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-table-light.md) - [Stackable Modular Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/module-table-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Museum-Quality Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artifox-table-light.md) - [Minimalist Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20.md)
