The 'Battleship' is designed to look both sturdy and to act sturdy -- much better than the flimsy hooks that look pretty and delicate, but break if you put an extra scarf on them -- with its [contemporary industrial look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forming-function-nomad-collection). Made from [laser cut steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf) with a semi-gloss powder coated finish, these creative hook designs will give any space a very modern and old-school factory feel. The kitschy hooks come in both white and grey and are a sure way to quickly spruce up an empty hallway. So if you're looking for hooks with clean industrial lines and are able to keep up with the rigors of a daily life, the 'Battleship' is for you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Industrial Chic Home Decor:** Designing products with an edgy, factory-style aesthetic to appeal to consumers looking to incorporate an industrial feel in their homes. - **Durable Products for Daily Use:** Creating products that are built to withstand the wear and tear of daily use to meet the needs of consumers seeking practical solutions. - **Laser-cut Metal Products:** Developing products made with the precision of laser cutting for a sleek and modern look that appeals to design-conscious consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Creating sturdy and functional home decor products with an industrial aesthetic that adds a unique touch to any space. - **Consumer Goods:** Designing durable products for everyday use that cater to consumers looking for practical and long-lasting solutions. - **Metalworking:** Leveraging laser cutting technology to produce precise and stylish metal products that appeal to customers seeking modern design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sporty Climbing-Inspired Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-hanger.md) - [Utilitarian Design Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment.md) - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.md) - [Geometrically Shaped Hanger Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger.md) - [Jewelry-Like Handbag Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-hook-options.md) - [Rotating Punctuation Mark Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotion-hanger.md) - [Ultra-Slick Functional Home Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-home-accessories.md) - [Bright Whimsical Home Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-balcony.md) - [Modular Minimal Wardrobe Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koi-cloths.md)
