# Louvered Table Lamps Ventilite by Chris Jackson Gives Construction Materials Second Life By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-08-10 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ventilite-by-chris-jackson References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Ventilite/987883) One is bound to appreciate the Ventilite by Chris Jackson for its success at combining found objects into a polished product. There is a stigma that pieces made from [reclaimed materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-lamp) assume a junky appearance, but this example reveals a truly endearing item. The resourceful designer employed leftover elements from a previous project that become a highly effective and undoubtedly [eclectic lampshade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-colombo). The prefabricated and finished louvered panels may have served ideally as vent returns, yet their mundane quality is actually better celebrated though this unconventional use. Four tapered legs and a frame support the [one-of-a-king light fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-lamp), accented with a delightful coat of pea green paint. The bulb is fitted with a cord escaping immediately beneath it and the Ventilite by Chris Jackson lets it cleverly escape through a hole in one leg. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Reclaimed Materials:** Opportunity for businesses to repurpose leftover materials and create unique, eco-friendly products. - **Unconventional Use:** Potential for businesses to find innovative applications for mundane objects and materials. - **Eclectic Design:** Demand for products that bring together diverse elements and styles to create visually appealing and unique pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sustainable Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create eco-friendly products using reclaimed materials. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate unconventional and eclectic pieces into their projects. - **Lighting Industry:** Innovative opportunity to create unique lighting fixtures using unconventional materials and designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Urban Debris-Crafted Portable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remli.md) - [Scenic Architecture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-inspired-table-lamp.md) - [Plant-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palmetto-lamp.md) - [Brutalist Bedside Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vestige-lamp.md) - [Elegant Metal Perforated Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreshadow-table-lamp.md) - [Elegant Compact Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-table-light.md) - [Architecturally Elegant Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juba-tl1-table-lamp.md) - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md)
