# Garlic Clove Caddies The Ajori Cruet is a Condiment Container Inspired by the Elegant Edible By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-07-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ajori-cruet References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/AJORI/3613983) & [photoalquimia](http://www.photoalquimia.com/ajori.html) There is great beauty to objects found in nature, offering exquisite inspiration for the design industry. The Ajori Cruet is modeled on the elegant form of a [fist of garlic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-spread), and quite a fitting shape for a [holder of spices, seasonings and dressings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herb-storage-container). This delicious dining table accessory is the creative yield of photoAlquimia, Pilar Balsalobre and Carlos Jimenez. Its sculptural shape mimics that of a cluster of individual garlic cloves, all of varying sizes, accentuated in shape by their dry skins and budding up to a central stem. The base of the Ajori Cruet comprises a dimpled platter that fits the collection of bulbous pieces and a wooden core that extends upwards gracefully as a handle. It enables you to fill it with [olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agrumatomethod-olive-oil) in the kitchen and carry it over to the table. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nature-inspired Design:** Opportunity for creating products inspired by natural forms and shapes. - **Sculptural Table Accessories:** Increased interest in unique and visually appealing tableware. - **Functional Dining Tools:** Growing demand for multi-purpose and aesthetically pleasing dining tools. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Design and Home Decor:** Opportunity to create unique, nature-inspired home decor products. - **Tableware and Kitchenware:** Growing market for visually appealing and functional table accessories. - **Food and Hospitality:** Demand for innovative dining tools that enhance the dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ceramic Olive Oil Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cugu.md) - [Hourglass-Shaped Kitchen Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grains-of-time.md) - [Hen-Shaped Ergonomic Oil Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bernardo-diaz-lopez.md) - [Handcrafted Avocado Oil Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-avocado-oil-holiday-set.md) - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Versatile Garlic Seasoning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aglio-olio.md) - [One-Handed Olive Oil Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-drizz.md) - [Squeezable Olive Oil Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeezable-olive-oil.md) - [Olive Oil Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graza-mayonnaise-and-aioli.md)
