[Ampersand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomorrows-vintage) Wallpockets have been manufactured from paper and manage to emanate a crisp and contemporary quality. Tim Karoleff came up with these crafty geometric compartments which mimic [barnacles or honeycombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barnacle-wall-sconce) when clustered together. They're intended to add a playful dimension to the flat surface of walls and to provide neat niches for storing small items. The purpose of the whimsical project may be twofold, but when considering its production process, its benefits are threefold. The eccentric tectonic decals are die-cut from up to 100% [recycled e-flute cardboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastille) to take trapezoidal shapes with pentagonal protruding centers. The Ampersand Wallpockets pieces are shipped in flat parcels and can be easily assembled without a need for glue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Design:** Utilizing recycled materials for artistic and functional home decor. - **Geometric Decor:** Increasing popularity of hexagonal and pentagonal shapes in interior design. - **DIY Assembly:** Providing consumers with flat pack and glue-less design options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Innovating products that provide storage solutions and aesthetic appeal. - **Art Supplies:** Supplying eco-friendly, recycled paper products for the DIY market. - **Sustainability:** Encouraging more manufacturing companies to consider using recycled materials in their production processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wall-Mounted Modular Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallwerx.md) - [Pocket Storage-Equipped Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-desk.md) - [Sandbox-Like Modular Storage Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-storage-cabinet1.md) - [Building Block Wall Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-organizer-and-messfree-planter.md) - [Sleek Wall Organizer Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mdf-boards.md) - [Sculptural Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-wall-desk.md) - [Modular Magnetic Wall Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-organizer-concept.md) - [Playful Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets.md) - [Wall Art Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-case.md)
