# Lights That Undress The Ziplamp Lets You Unzip to See the Light By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-12-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziplamp References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/12/30/unzip-fully-and-see-the-light/) & [merry.es](http://www.merry.es/) The Ziplamp by [Merry Design Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-sparkles-outdoor-decor) is an ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styren) light stick sheathed in a neoprene cover. To turn on the Ziplamp, just unzip its cover until the desired amount of light is revealed. Even though the Ziplamp is a completely family-friendly piece of [lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-lamp), there's something that feels a bit naughty about unzipping the lamp to turn it on. **Implications** - The design industry has taken up the [minimalist concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20) to substitute the high-end complex designs that rules the industry for some time. Consumers are starting to enjoy the idea of simplicity due to the stresses of everyday life, so they want products that are easy on the eyes and serve their purpose. Brands simplifying their goods will save shoppers the strain of dealing with complex items they don't have the time for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Design:** Simplifying product designs to cater to consumers' desire for simplicity. - **Ease of Use:** Creating products that are easy to use and serve their purpose without complication. - **Family-friendly Innovation:** Developing products that can be enjoyed and used by the whole family. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Design:** Opportunity for design brands to embrace minimalist concepts in their product offerings. - **Consumer Goods:** Opportunity for consumer goods brands to simplify and streamline their product designs. - **Lighting:** Opportunity for lighting industry to innovate with user-friendly and family-friendly lighting solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flatpack Lighting Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allen-key-lamp.md) - [Ultra-Flexible Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anywhereuse-lamp.md) - [Inflatable Colorful Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeeze-inflatable-lamp.md) - [Storage-Friendly Task Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storage-lamp.md) - [Interactive Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap-tap-table-lamp.md) - [Inflatable Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-lamp.md) - [Minimal Aesthetic Light Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-light.md) - [Minimalist Mysterious Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auge-light-mini.md) - [Umbrella-Inspired Whimsical Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasaga-lamp.md)
