The resulting collection includes a number of vases, plates, serving and decorative dishes, trays and candle holders. Though the main material used for the homeware pieces is concrete, the series incorporates [wood and metal accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collective-collection) as well. These parts are made to be removable so that consumers can easily clean the concrete accessories and the products are better able to perform a function. For example, the 'Radial' vases within the collection are made with a lightweight metal insert that holds flowers but can be taken out so that the vase can be filled with water. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Mixed-material Homeware:** Exploring new ways to combine materials in homeware design, creating added value for consumers. - **Removable Parts:** Innovating modular designs for homeware that allow for easy cleaning and functionality. - **Lightweight Inserts:** Introducing lightweight materials for homeware accessories that complement heavier materials like concrete. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Opportunities for new homeware products that combine materials and offer modular designs. - **Furniture:** Incorporating mixed-material homeware accessories in furniture design. - **Construction:** Exploring lightweight insert systems in construction and building materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Concrete Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancora.md) - [Playful Concrete Wash Basins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kast-wave-collection.md) - [Vibrantly Designed Modern Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cimento.md) - [Concrete Hand-Poured Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skkn-by-kim-2.md) - [Sturdy Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cement-decor.md) - [Utilitarian Design Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment.md) - [Ultra-Slick Functional Home Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-home-accessories.md) - [High-End Modern Tableware Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixedmaterial-collection.md) - [Bio-Concrete Retail Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bioconcrete.md)
