The design studio, which was founded by Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy and based in Australia, uses unorthodox materials and [vibrant arrays of color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilion-set) in order to make their pieces stand out. In a way, the Dinosaur Designs creations do have a prehistoric feel about them as well in spite of being very contemporary. Comprised of everything from [tablecloths and vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-collection1) to jewelry and soaps, the Atelier collection by Dinosaur Designs has just about anything and everything a person can need. Although each design looks very different from the next, they all fit cohesively together. This brings order to the mix and match madness Dinosaur Designs has orchestrated. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 17% | 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 - **Unorthodox Materials:** Exploring the use of unconventional materials in houseware design to create unique and eye-catching products. - **Vibrant Color Arrays:** Embracing vibrant and bold color schemes in the design of housewares to add a touch of personality and uniqueness. - **Mix and Match Madness:** Encouraging the trend of mix and match in houseware design, allowing consumers to create personalized, eclectic collections. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in using unorthodox materials and vibrant color schemes to create standout home decor products. - **Fashion Accessories:** Exploring the use of unorthodox materials and vibrant color arrays in the design of jewelry and fashion accessories to create statement pieces. - **Personal Care Products:** Applying the trend of mix and match in the design of soaps and personal care products, allowing consumers to create personalized collections for their daily self-care routine. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Intricately Crafted Homeware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latelier-homeware.md) - [Delicate Colorful Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-colorful-vase.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dinnerware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellerware.md) - [Creatively Abstract Homeware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rixo-1.md) - [Designer Holiday Homeware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthropologie-1.md) - [Designer Danish Housewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackable-vessels.md) - [Stunningly Ornamental Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erm-studio.md) - [Incredibly Vibrant Homeware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-homeware.md)
