# Vintage Wine Glass Lighting The 'Nebu' Chandelier Made of 250 Repurposed Goblets By Elsa Blaine | Published 2009-07-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-glass-lighting-nebu-chandelier-250-goblets References: [link.gs](http://link.gs/9tYb) & [umproject](http://www.umproject.com/fo_nebuchandelier_01.html) The Nebu is one of the [most ingenious chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-pendant-light) I have ever seen. The fixture is based on a sheet of [powder-coated black aluminum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier) with 250 spiral designs cut out of it, which hangs from the ceiling. From there, things get really fun and creative. Inserted into each of the spiral openings is a [vintage wine glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cali); multi-coloured, various sizes and in a range textures, there are 250 of them. What a glorious effect it must have in the night. And if you what to change it up, do a switch-a-roo on the glasses! The Nebu (short for nebulous) was designed by Francois Chambard for UMproject Inc. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 83% | 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) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Repurposing Glassware:** This trend suggests new life for unused glassware and an opportunity for businesses to create unique lighting fixtures by repurposing them. - **Sustainable Lighting Design:** This trend suggests the opportunity for businesses to re-imagine their lighting design by incorporating sustainable practices and materials, potentially attracting environmentally conscious consumers. - **Multi-textured Lighting:** This trend suggests the opportunity for businesses to create unique lighting fixtures with multi-coloured, variously sized, and textured materials to produce an eye-catching effect. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Lighting Design:** This industry can incorporate this trend by utilizing unconventional materials like repurposed glassware to create unique designs and appeal to the sustainability-conscious consumer. - **Upcycling/repurposing:** This industry can capitalize on this trend by expanding its reach to various industries, specifically lighting design, to promote environmental conservation and the concept of repurposing waste materials. - **Event Planning/decor:** This industry can utilize this trend by incorporating multi-textured lighting in event design, which can add an element of luxury, elegance, and aesthetic appeal to the overall feel of an event. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Hand-Blown Glass Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaris.md) - [Maximalist Chandelier Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-x-harry-nuriev.md) - [Plant-Inspired Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-chandelier.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upglas-collection.md) - [Matte White Dynamic Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2097-chandelier.md) - [Jewel-Inspired Chandelier Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-chandelier.md) - [Metal-Glass Intuitive Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salsa-chandelier.md) - [Sculptural Contemporary Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volant.md) - [Murano Lighting Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profilo-chandelier.md)
