# Scrapped Marble Platters Other Kingdom's 'Cut Out Platters' are Made from Upcycled Marble By Joey Haar | Published 2017-10-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-out-platter References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/cut-out-platter-by-other-kingdom/) & [other-kingdom](https://www.other-kingdom.com/collections/2016/products/cut-out-platter) Marble is a traditionally lush, rich material, and with its new 'Cut Out Platters', design studio Other Kingdom recognizes that even scraps of the stone are worthwhile as design features. The [kitchen accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legni-collection) are made out of [upcycled inlaid marble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handchiseled-marble-basin), combining the luxurious material with a homey, DIY aesthetic. The Cut Out Platters are designed by Prakash Kumar, a master marble inlayer working with Other Kingdom out of his own studio in Bangalore, India. In making each piece, Prakesh upcycles actual [marble scraps leftover from his workshop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daon-pottery), meaning that each of the Cut Out Platters is slightly different from the others. That said, Other Kingdom is offering the platters in two colorways: one with a red base and pink accents, and the other with a cream base and multicolored accents. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 12% | 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycled Materials:** The use of upcycled marble scraps in kitchen accessories presents an opportunity for businesses to tap into the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products. - **Handcrafted Design:** The handcrafted nature of the Cut Out Platters showcases the value of artisanal craftsmanship, allowing businesses to explore the market potential of unique and one-of-a-kind products. - **Luxurious DIY:** By combining the luxurious material of marble with a DIY aesthetic, the Cut Out Platters offer a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to cater to consumers seeking high-end DIY home decor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The use of upcycled marble scraps in the design of Cut Out Platters can disrupt the home decor industry by offering sustainable and stylish products. - **Artisanal Craftsmanship:** The handcrafted nature of the Cut Out Platters positions them as a disruptive innovation within the artisanal craftsmanship industry, appealing to consumers who appreciate unique and personalized products. - **Sustainable Design:** The combination of upcycled materials and luxurious design in the Cut Out Platters presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses operating in the sustainable design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Creative Craft Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn-studio-series.md) - [Unique Upcycled Serving Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-wine-bottle-appetizer-tray.md) - [Sculptural Marble Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-frammenti.md) - [Resin Hardware Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hardware.md) - [Stone Offcut Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvatori-precioso.md) - [Chic Sustainable Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-side-table.md) - [Warm-Toned Marble Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusine-coasters.md) - [Repurposed Studio Scrap Pottery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daon-pottery.md) - [Sustainable Side Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-up-side-tables.md)
