Interestingly enough, the collection isn't inspired by the elements specifically, but by the solar system in general. To create the beautiful patterns, the unbaked porcelain is first etched using a gas burner’s flame creating a unique, [erosion-like texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erosion-series) often found on planets. Secondly, various glaze techniques are applied to finish the pieces with contrasting colors. The Erosion set was designed by Studio Floris Wubben and boasts a slew of different designs -- each more organic than the next. It's made for people who appreciate craftsmanship and [one of a kind designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/devin-wilde). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Erosion-like Texture:** Creating unique erosion-like textures on ceramics using flame etching techniques opens up opportunities for innovative surface designs in home decor and tableware. - **Contrasting Glaze Techniques:** Experimenting with various glaze techniques to create contrasting colors on ceramic products provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for the ceramics industry to attract customers seeking unique and visually striking designs. - **Organic Design Inspiration:** Drawing inspiration from natural elements like the solar system and planets can lead to the development of organic and artistic designs in the field of ceramics, offering a fresh and distinct aesthetic for customers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Ceramics:** The ceramics industry can explore innovative techniques like flame etching and contrasting glazes to elevate their product offerings and differentiate themselves in the market. - **Home Decor:** Incorporating ceramics with unique erosion-like textures and contrasting glaze colors can introduce disruptive and visually appealing design elements to the home decor industry, capturing the attention of design-conscious consumers. - **Tableware:** Integrating the use of erosion-inspired porcelain dishes with organic and artistic designs in the tableware industry can create a distinct dining experience for customers, offering an opportunity to stand out in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Algorithmic Ceramic Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texture-ware.md) - [Porcelain Dinnerware Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain.md) - [Textural Porcelain Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamara-efrat.md) - [Natural Landscape-Inspired Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-collection.md) - [Experimental Pottery Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project.md) - [Innovative Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-tableware1.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md) - [Geologically Fluid Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-geology-table-collection.md) - [Exquisite Circular Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-vases.md)
