# Book Cover Plant Vases This Book Packaging Doubles as a Layered Flower Pot By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-02-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-packaging References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/02/flower-pot-books-packaging.html) & [mfutura.mx](http://mfutura.mx/?lang=en) Book packaging and flower pots, for the most part, have nothing in common. It just doesn't seem that there would be anything holding the two together in any way. Mexico-based design studio Manifiesto Futura decided that they would **make** a way for them to fit together. This books packaging is beautiful on its own. It's simple but multi-layered, tactile and [cleverly designed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-home-object). Considering most books don't even come with packaging, this was already a step in the right direction. Manifiesto Futura took it a step even further though and made their book packaging multi-faceted. For those of us who could always use an extra flower pot, this book cover will do the job. The packaging, when fully folded, will look like a sort of sack for soil and plants rather than a full ceramic pot. Being multi-faceted is always a good thing, and this [book packaging flower pot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-pak-and-keter) certainly fills that description ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 - **Multi-functional Packaging:** The trend of designing packaging that serves multiple purposes presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the packaging industry. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the packaging industry. - **Interactive Product Packaging:** The growing trend of interactive packaging designs opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the marketing and branding industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Packaging Industry:** The packaging industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating multi-functionality and sustainability into their designs. - **Floral Industry:** The floral industry can take advantage of multi-functional packaging, like book cover plant vases, to offer unique and eco-friendly flower pot solutions to customers. - **Marketing and Branding Industry:** The marketing and branding industry can leverage interactive product packaging concepts to create memorable and engaging brand experiences for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Greenery Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-propagation-bookend.md) - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Detailed Ceramic Book Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biblio-bloom.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Self-Watering Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-watering-plant-house.md) - [Nature-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-2.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-product.md) - [Self-Watering Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivo-pot.md) - [Vibrant Dynamic Wall Plant-Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floos.md) - [Eco Abstract Vase Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-vase.md)
