# Geometrical Kitchen Equipment The Black Diamond Knife Block Boasts a Badass Style Aesthetic By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-09-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-diamond-knife-block References: [thegadgetflow](http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/black-diamond-knife-block-can-fit-upto-eleven-knives/) & [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/889553654514718346/Black-Diamond-Knife-Block?ref=evanvar) Knife blocks are inherently boring, but the Black Diamond Knife Block is anything but. Featuring a geometrical design that is modern yet natural, the Black Diamond Knife Block is crafted to perfection and can hold up to 11 [knives of your choice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customized-knives). While other [knife blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armada-knife-display) hide as much of your knives as possible, the Black Diamond Knife Block puts everything it can on display to make the [blades and handles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vg10-stainless-damascus) distinctly visible against the stark contrast of the product's multidimensional lines. As the name would suggest, the Black Diamond Knife Block was modeled after a raw, uncut black diamond to draw a comparison and strike a contrast between the natural elements of the design aesthetic and the post-modern feeling it exudes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geometric Design:** Opportunity for businesses to incorporate modern and natural geometric designs into their products or services. - **Visible Display:** Opportunity for businesses to create products that prominently display their features, making them visually distinct and appealing. - **Contrasting Aesthetics:** Opportunity for businesses to combine natural and post-modern design elements to create unique and standout products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity for kitchenware companies to incorporate geometric designs and visible displays in their product offerings. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor companies to explore contrasting aesthetics and create visually striking pieces. - **Art and Sculpture:** Opportunity for artists and sculptors to experiment with geometric designs and contrasting aesthetics in their creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angular Minimalist Knife Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-knife-block-set.md) - [Magnetic D2C Knife Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misen-modular-knife-storage.md) - [Comprehensive Contemporary Knife Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-knife-set.md) - [Knife-Sanitizing Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-knife-block.md) - [Volcanic Topography Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutlery-knives.md) - [Premium Knife Holder Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutluxe-2.md) - [Design-Conscious Butcher Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caraway-prep-serve-butcher-block.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Damasteel Kitchen Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectors-edition-kitchen-knives.md) - [Outdoor Living Knife Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefs-knife-sets.md)
