Concrete is often considered to be an impermeable material, yet the Power Switch Light by Danius makes walls made of the mix look peculiarly penetrable. As an experiment to amalgamate both fixture and switch, this compelling concept emerges to reveal a cool and contemporary aesthetic.
Povilas Danius's concept proposes wall lights that are literally cut into the face of a mural, ranging in depth from 5 centimeters to 15 centimeters. He states that the extraordinary illuminators can be installed in a wall of 15cm deep, with their surface incised in the shape of circles with diameters of 10 to 30 centimeters.
Remaining flush against the wall when not in use, the Power Switch Light by Danius needs only a simple touch to pop out. The golden halo of lamp light can be turned off again with a gentle press on its cap.

Trend Themes
1. Embedded Illuminators - Opportunity for designing a range of surface-mounted wall lights that merge into murals, surfaces, or fixtures.
2. Interactive Lighting - Opportunity for designing fixtures that require user-interaction to work and fit into the contemporary space design.
3. Minimalist Design - Opportunity for creating simple, stylish, and functional lighting products for modern spaces and needs.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - This trend has the potential to disrupt the lighting fixtures within building designs, as they mean more than just providing light, but blend into the aesthetics of the structure.
2. Interior Design - This trend can be used to feedback into further innovations in interior design, which will mean blurring the lines between utilitarian items and works of art.
3. Manufacturing - Manufacturing companies could develop advanced tools and technologies to aid in creating these fixtures, which may require a lot of customization and precision work to achieve the right balance.
