# Precious Element Blocks Tenthium Brings the Periodic Table to Life with Desktop Accessories By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-03-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/element-block References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/tenthium-brings-the-periodic-table-to-life-17-03-2016/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/603264655/tenthium) Science enthusiasts who are interested in keeping a touch of scientific decor will find Tenthium element blocks to be one of the most beautiful ways to do so. Offering nine different elements in total, Tenthium crafts each of the blocks out of 99% pure elements before engraving each one with the periodic table symbol. Tenthium is currently funding on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elements-collection-1) where the brand is currently offering different element blocks for consumers to choose from at different price points. Each of the cubic blocks measures one inch by one inch and makes an ideal gift for a graduate of a science program or even just a design enthusiast. The cubes are all the same size, but naturally weigh different amounts, which can be entertaining to compare and contrast in-hand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Periodic Table Decor:** Opportunities for businesses to create more decorative and visually appealing science-related products - **Element-specific Accessories:** Opportunities for businesses to create custom accessories that highlight specific elements on the periodic table - **Pure Elements as Design Elements:** Opportunities for businesses to incorporate pure elements as design elements in architecture and product design ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gifts and Novelties:** Creates opportunities for businesses in the gift and novelty industry to market these blocks towards science enthusiasts and design enthusiasts alike - **Interior Design:** Creates opportunities to incorporate these element blocks into interior design concepts - **Product Manufacturing:** Opportunities in manufacturing to develop pure element-based products and bring the periodic table into design ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant Desktop Brainteaser Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-tetra.md) - [Compact Mineral Display Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mineral-collection.md) - [Portable Metallic Flat Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elements-collection-1.md) - [Solid Brass Workstation Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-desk-toy.md) - [Metallic Super-Ellitpical Desk Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altdynamic-superegg.md) - [Magnetic Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnecraft.md) - [Machined Metallic Topology Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altdynamic-torus.md) - [Felt-Made Wall Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hush-blocks.md) - [Innovative Toy Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-building-system.md)
