# Delightful Domestic Doodads The Comby Collection Comprises Matching Items of Multiple Functions By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comby-collection References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/comby-collection-federica-bubani/) & [federicabubani.it](http://www.federicabubani.it/comby/) The name of the domestic decorating game is color, formal and textural coordination, and this is captured in such a charming way in the Comby Collection. This set comprises five separate pieces that look remarkably alike; however, they fulfill a variety of different purposes. Every single object has a base of an oak wood block of approximately the same volume, a ceramic cone of the same size with different dimensions, and a black metal handle or arm. With these similar components, Federica Bubani presents a table lamp, a desk lamp, a small spotlight, a mounted bowl and a mirror. The looking glass and one of the light fixtures have a hole in the stand to double as a makeup or pen holder. The Comby Collection brings functional charm to every room. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Functional Coordination:** The Comby Collection demonstrates the trend of creating multiple functional objects with coordinated design elements. - **Versatile Decor:** The trend of versatile decor is evident in the Comby Collection, where each piece serves multiple purposes without sacrificing style. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** The Comby Collection exemplifies the growing trend of multi-functional furniture that combines form and function in one cohesive design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The Comby Collection presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor industry by offering a coordinated set of multi-functional objects. - **Interior Design:** Interior design professionals can benefit from the Comby Collection as it provides them with versatile and coordinated options for their projects. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers in the furniture industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by creating multi-purpose pieces like the Comby Collection. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Daily Ritual Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/routines-collection.md) - [Ultra-Slick Functional Home Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-home-accessories.md) - [Reimagined Curiously Functional Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/didim.md) - [Illuminating Home Display Pedestals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welcome-decor-piece.md) - [Elegant Crystalline Decor Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ensemble.md) - [Playful Toy-Like Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frunchroom-furniture-collection.md) - [Ornamental Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bells-and-whistles-collection.md) - [Playful Industrial Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forming-function-nomad-collection.md) - [Utilitarian Design Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment.md)
