A similar [flower holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-cam-vase) was created a few years ago, but people still can't seem to get enough. Designed by Ricardo Saint-Clair, the Chalkboard Vase is currently available at the [MoMA Store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackable-vessels). Priced at $40, it comes with wall mounting hardware and, of course, chalk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Writing Surface Decor:** Opportunity for incorporating a writable surface into various home decor items, allowing for customization and personalization. - **Interactive Home Accessories:** Creating home accessories that offer interactive elements, such as writing or drawing surfaces, for added functionality and creativity. - **Continued Popularity of Flower Holders:** Flower holders continue to be a sought-after home decor item, with new and innovative designs continually captivating consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the demand for innovative and customizable products by incorporating writable surfaces into various items. - **Stationery:** Stationery companies have an opportunity to create writing or drawing surfaces that can be incorporated into different home accessories for added functionality. - **Art and Craft Supplies:** Suppliers of art and craft materials can benefit from the trend of incorporating writable surfaces into home accessories and decor items, as consumers seek out new ways to express their creativity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Packaging-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-milk-vase.md) - [Personalized Floral Grid Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-vase.md) - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Unusual Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-brown-paper-bag-vase.md) - [Floating Stem Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-effect-vase.md) - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Chandelier-Shaped Self-Watering Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfwatering-vase.md) - [Self-Cleansing Antimicrobial Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potr-letterbox.md) - [Multifunctional Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iza-vase.md)
