Arihiro Miyake explains how his Coppélia Chandelier helped make his name as a designer in this Dezeen movie, which is part of our Design Dreams series with Dutch design brand Moooi. Japanese designer Miyake received international recognition with the launch of his Coppélia Chandelier for Moooi in 2015. Due to the popularity of the design, Moooi launched a new black version at its Milan 2018 show in April. “I have travelled many places with the lamp, like New York, Tokyo and London,” Miyake says in the video, which Dezeen filmed for Moooi in Milan and London. “It has been quite a big success and I feel like one of my dreams has come true.”

Generations – Lost Generation – G.I. Generation – Silent Generation – Baby boomers – Generation X – Millennials – Generation Z
Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the demographiccohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends. Demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years.
Millennials, who are generally the children of baby boomers and older Gen X adults, are sometimes referred to as “Echo Boomers” due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s. The 20th-century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued, however, so the relative impact of the “baby boom echo” was generally less pronounced than the original post–World War II boom.
Millennial characteristics vary by region, depending on social and economic conditions. However, the generation is generally marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies. In most parts of the world, their upbringing was marked by an increase in a liberal approach to politics and economics; the effects of this environment are disputed. The Great Recession has had a major impact on this generation because it has caused historically high levels of unemployment among young people, and has led to speculation about possible long-term economic and social damage to this generation.
