The [valet tray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tray210) is constructed out of off-white [Jesmonite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicato-tray) as an alternative to concrete and is thus capable of making all everyday carry (EDC) items visually pop when placed on its surface. Th tray can be used with an optional stationery port for holding up to eight writing utensils or a [candle holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aw030001na) for holding a tapered candle. The Instrmnt Applied Design Catch Tray is batch-cast in the UK and can be used for displaying or stowing a wide array of items to make it great for any living space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alternative Material Design:** Exploring different materials to create innovative design for everyday use. - **Organizational Home Decor:** Combining style and practicality for home decor that declutters and enhances living spaces. - **Multipurpose Storage Solutions:** Creating products that serve multiple functions for a more efficient and streamlined lifestyle. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to incorporate functionality into aesthetically pleasing designs for home decor products. - **Stationery:** Exploration into multi-functional stationery products that can also serve as home decor. - **Candles:** Fusing the candle industry with organizational home decor for multi-purpose candle holders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Precise Valet Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valet-tray.md) - [Compact Aluminum Valet Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-cash-tray-with-dtex-pads.md) - [Rustic Industrial Valet Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puebco-recycled-steel-valet-tray.md) - [Modern Aluminum Catchalls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catchall-design.md) - [Undulating Desktop Valet Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wav-minimal-desk-organizer.md) - [Hand-Dyed Desk Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grovemade-desk-tray.md) - [High-End Ashtray Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ash-blackwood-ashtray.md) - [Storage-Equipped Concrete Ashtrays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vessel-ash.md) - [Recycled Desk Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tray210.md)
