The Brazilian artisans call the pieces 'Batucada,' which is a percussion beat used in Brazilian carnivals. Not only are the [lamps, baskets, plates, vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-lamp) and other pieces [handmade from aluminum scrap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-outdoor-furniture), they are anodized in brilliant shades of green, blue, purple, red, and golden yellow. Their unique appearance reinforces the carnival-like sense of rough and tumble that imbues these pieces. **Implications** - 'Batucada' Designware by Brazilian Jahara Studio are brilliant pieces that capture a seminal aspect of Brazilian identity (carnival) and it goes a long way in promoting the values of the eco movement. A phenomenal project. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Recycled Home Accessories:** Creating home accessories from recycled materials promotes sustainability and attracts eco-conscious consumers. - **Artisanal Aluminum Designware:** Handmade aluminum products with unique designs appeal to consumers looking for one-of-a-kind pieces. - **Colorful Anodized Homeware:** Anodizing aluminum in vibrant shades adds a vibrant touch to home decor and offers a playful aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can incorporate more sustainable materials and unique designs to cater to eco-conscious consumers. - **Artisanal Crafts:** The artisanal crafts industry can explore the use of recycled materials and vibrant colors to create eye-catching products. - **Eco-friendly Design:** The eco-friendly design industry can expand its offerings by incorporating recycled aluminum and vibrant anodized finishes into their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Plastic Decor Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastplan-design-studio.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Reused Skyscraper Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aged-form-line.md) - [Sustainable Creative Craft Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn-studio-series.md) - [Repurposed Electric Scooter Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emetabolism-collection.md) - [Junkyard-Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junkyard-diving.md) - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Chic Recycled Aluminum Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bello-bench.md)
