# Jolly Jokester Jars The Clown Nose Container is Cute and Playful By Meghan Young | Published 2010-11-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clown-nose-container References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2010/11/clown-nose-containers.html) & [tomaskral.ch](http://www.tomaskral.ch/clown.html) The Clown Nose Container is so cute I want every one of them. Inspired by--you guessed it--the iconic clown nose, it may use cork instead of foam, but designer Tomas Kral did a wonderful job keeping the shape and overall essence of the trademark disguise. The Clown Nose Container also features a colored elastic that secures the cork ball onto the ceramic body. Born in the Slovak Republic, Tomas Kral now resides in Lausanne, Switzerland. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of his playful designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 7% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Playful Product Design:** There is an opportunity for companies to incorporate playful and whimsical elements into their product design. - **Iconic Inspiration:** Products inspired by iconic items, such as the clown nose, can catch consumers' attention and create a strong brand image. - **Creative Packaging:** Thoughtful and creative packaging, such as the cork ball and colored elastic of the Clown Nose Container, can differentiate a product from others in the market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Companies in the home decor industry can consider adding fun and playful accents, such as the Clown Nose Container, to their product lines. - **Toy and Game:** In the toy and game industry, there is an opportunity to incorporate iconic elements like the clown nose into products to attract children and parents. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Creative and unique packaging, similar to the Clown Nose Container, can add personality to beauty and personal care products and make them stand out on store shelves. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Ceramic Cookie Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inferno.md) - [Big-Headed Sculpture Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-pots.md) - [Ship-Like Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/float-food-storage-container.md) - [Bulbous Whimsical Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic.md) - [Playful Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets.md) - [Dynamic Colored Glass Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-top-glass.md) - [Sparkler-Holding Glass Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkler-in-your-palm.md) - [Honeycomb Paper Charitable Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-nose.md) - [Inflated-Illusion Ceramic Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-up.md)
