# Curvy Entertainment Units The Bloom TV Stand by Leon van Zanten is Inspired by a Vase and Flowers By Meghan Young | Published 2012-04-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-tv-stand References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2012/04/25/bloom-tv-stand-by-leon-van-zanten/) & [leonvanzanten.nl](http://www.leonvanzanten.nl/) Oftentimes, entertainment units are as sleek and modern as the products they are home to; the Bloom TV Stand offers a refreshing change. [Inspired by flowers and vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flore), the stand becomes a sweeping 'vase' that holds the TV, which acts as the 'flower.' By re-imagining the typical TV stand for the modern home, it becomes a [sculptural decor addition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inbetween-umbrella) in living spaces. The Bloom TV Stand was conceived by Dutch designer Léon van Zanten. Made out of [various layers of Birch wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures) that accentuates its concentric aesthetic, it was varnished 3 times to create a smooth surface that begs to be touched. Completely hollow, the cords and wires are neatly hidden from sight, exiting through the back of the Bloom TV Stand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Scultpural Home Decor:** Designing and producing functional home decor items that offer a contemporary twist to traditional designs, providing an aesthetic option for the modern homeowner. - **Natural Inspiration:** Drawing inspiration from organic sources such as flowers and vases to create decor objects that redirect focus from technology to nature. - **Hidden Tech Integration:** Unobtrusively concealing technology while still providing functionality, combining design and technology in a seamless manner. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Expanding beyond traditional furniture design to create functional and visually pleasing decor objects that blur the lines between technology and nature. - **Home Decor:** Changing the way consumers interact with home decor, providing an aesthetic option that demonstrates natural inspiration. - **Consumer Electronics:** Integrating home electronics into the design process, creating innovative ways to hide wires and cables. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Folding TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-seed-n1.md) - [Artistic Easel Home Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movable-home-display.md) - [Jewelry-Holding Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-vase-stand.md) - [Artistically Enhanced TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-tv.md) - [Interactive Blooming Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomlight-s-lamp.md) - [Curvaceous Storage-Focused Nightstands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-night-stand.md) - [Next-Generation TV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oled-shelf-concept.md) - [Moveable Entertainment Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-stanbyme.md) - [Petal-Inspired Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-wall-light.md)
