# Heart-Shaped Thought Banks The Corezone is Made to Hold Feelings, Dreams and Wishes By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corezone References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2012/10/11/A-Piggy-Bank-for-Your-Innermost-Thoughts/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/corezone/5200229) The Corezone is like a piggybank for [thoughts, feelings, dreams and wishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamfi), which are arguably more valuable than money. Shaped like a heart, a real human heart with ventricles and everything, the Corezone is made out of ceramic. The 'ventricles' act as the openings that people use to put their sentiments in. Unlike a piggybank, the Corezone doesn't have another bigger opening to cash in the items placed within. Instead, the Corezone has to be broken as if it were a fortune cookie. Created by Dorota Skalska and Agnieszka Mazur, the Corezone was made in "an attempt to [fulfill emotional needs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clover-emotion-tracker) by the means of an object, a try to withhold immaterial being in a material space." It was displayed at DMY Berlin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Emotional Storage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative storage solutions for sentiments, dreams, and wishes. - **Immaterial Keepsakes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop products that can hold intangible experiences and emotions in a tangible form. - **Sentimental Objects:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design sentimental objects that serve as repositories for personal thoughts and feelings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Product Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and forms to create emotionally-charged storage solutions. - **Personal Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Provide tools and products that empower individuals to reflect on and preserve their inner thoughts and emotions. - **Art and Exhibition:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with artists and curators to create immersive installations that engage the audience with emotional experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wishing Well-Inspired Coin Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coin-bank-concept.md) - [Smart Heart-Shaped Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart-necklace.md) - [Kintsugi-Inspired Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penny-piggy-bank.md) - [Heartbeat Rhythmic Smart Lockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch.md) - [Heartbeat-Mimicking Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch-locket.md) - [Story-Driven Souvenirs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Memory-Vault.md) - [Heart-Shaped Porcelain Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridge-to-the-next-generation.md) - [Architectural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder.md) - [Paper-Made Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-piggy-bank.md)
