Created by Duende Studio in collaboration with Mathieu Lehanneur, Benjamin Graindorge and Eric Jourdan, these Domestic Ponds are part of a limited edition series. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-inspired Home Decor:** With the rise of eco-consciousness, there is a disruption opportunity for home decor companies to introduce tabletop ecosystems that bring nature indoors. - **Miniature Self-sustaining Ecosystems:** Creating miniature self-sustaining ecosystems is a trend that provides a great disruption opportunity for the ornamental fish industry. - **Biophilic Design:** Biophilic design is a rising trend and there is a disruption opportunity in creating furniture pieces and home decors that incorporate living ecosystems. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can take advantage of the trend in creating tabletop ecosystems that can be great alternatives to traditional decor pieces. - **Ornamental Fish Industry:** The ornamental fish industry can benefit from the trend in creating self-sustaining tabletop ecosystems that are more than just traditional aquariums. - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry can create unique pieces with a biophilic design that integrates living ecosystems to provide a functional yet sustainable aesthetic to homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Urban Food Ecosystems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-sphere.md) - [Fish Tank-Inspired Japanese Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nao-iwanari.md) - [Modern Desk-Friendly Jellyfish Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-jellyfish.md) - [Modern Interior Water Fountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bower-studios-pivot-fountain-limited-edition.md) - [Miniature Terrarium Keycaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-keycaps.md) - [Compact Microclimate Terrariums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microclimate-terrariums.md) - [Terrarium Stool Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-stool.md) - [Interactive Marine Ecosystem Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures.md) - [Chic Sustainable Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oceanides-table-collection.md)
