# Eclectic Eco-Friendly Lighting The ZEN Light Boasts a Magnet Engine that Powers the Lamp By Meghan Young | Published 2011-04-18 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-light References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/04/18/lamp-generates-its-own-energy/) & [hangardesign.wordpress](http://hangardesign.wordpress.com/) I don't think I have ever set eyes on something like the [ZEN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonsai-desk-lamp) Light before. Although we've all been introduced to [plug-less and cable-less home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poldina-classic-lamp) before, those designs may not have the added bit of simplicity that this product has. Created by Andrej Čverha of HANGAR Design Forge, the ZEN Light is essentially an [eco-friendly concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova-terra) that uses kinetic energy to power it. With a pendulum-like movement, the ZEN Light features a 'magnet engine' inside that naturally create enough force to keep the lamp spinning to power a series of LED diodes. Although just a concept at the moment, the ZEN Light offers a unique way to introduce environmentally conscious light into homes -- not to mention a unique look as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more eco-friendly lighting solutions that utilize kinetic energy for power. - **Plug-less Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design home decor items that do not require traditional plugs or cables for power. - **Kinetic Energy Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of kinetic energy technology to power various applications, such as lighting. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transform the lighting industry by adopting eco-friendly and energy-efficient solutions. - **Home Decor Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Pioneer the development of plug-less home decor items that combine style and environmental sustainability. - **Green Energy Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Contribute to the green energy industry by advancing the technology and application of kinetic energy for various purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [Sustainable Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern.md) - [Kinetic Insect Sculpture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonfly-balance-light.md) - [Elegant Axis-Mounted Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendulum-lamp.md) - [Naturally Inspired Digital Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magma-lamp.md) - [Task-Managing Dynamic Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-lamp-concept.md) - [Magnetic Charging Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-on-charger.md) - [Customizable Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-magnetic-lamp.md) - [Storage-Friendly Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storage-lamp.md)
