It is shaped and designed to look like the skyline in New York City and boy does it ever resemble it. For anyone who has been to New York or lives there, the likeness is downright uncanny. The Du Cote de Chez Vous kit comes with instructions to help homeowners assemble it so that it looks like the New York City Skyline. You can use the skyline as [shelves for books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twoinone-billy-model), computer accessories and pictures, or just use it as decoration. Lots of people love NYC, and this would be an awesome idea to bring New York City into your life. Of course, you do not have to use the [shelf pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv) to make the New York Skyline; you can make whatever you'd like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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 - **City-inspired Home Office:** The trend toward city-inspired home office design is an opportunity for furniture and decor manufacturers to create pieces that capture the essence of urban spaces. - **Functional Art:** The trend towards functional art, like the Cityscape Shelves, presents an opportunity for artists and designers to create aesthetic pieces that serve a practical purpose. - **DIY Home Decor:** The trend toward DIY home decor and furniture kits offers businesses the opportunity to provide affordable and customizable solutions for customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The City-Inspired Home Office trend presents a unique opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create pieces that appeal to urban consumers looking for innovative ways to outfit small living spaces. - **Interior Design:** The trend toward Functional Art in home design creates opportunities for interior designers to incorporate unique and visually appealing pieces into their clients' homes. - **Crafts and Hobbies:** The trend toward DIY Home Decor presents an opportunity for craft and hobby stores to offer a variety of customizable home decor kits and supplies to meet the growing demand for creative and unique home styling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [L-Shaped Stacked Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loft-shelf.md) - [Parisian Building-Inspired Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-bookend.md) - [Ultra-Chic Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-desks.md) - [NYC-Inspired Structural Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-nyc.md) - [Work-Life Balance Shelving Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/criteria-shelf.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Book-Filled Mezzanine Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dumbo-loft.md) - [Storage-Packed Workstation Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-x-shelf-x-self-table.md)
