# Clay Turntables Fabien Clerc's Earthenware Sculpture Goes Back to the Good Old Days By Vittoria Natarelli | Published 2010-07-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabien-clercs-earthenware-sculpture References: [booooooom](http://www.booooooom.com/2010/07/16/fabien-clerc-earthenware-turntables/) & [fabienclerc.ch](http://fabienclerc.ch/) Fabien Clerc's Earthenware sculpture is a reminder of the good old days. Adding delicate flowers to a [traditional turntable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beogram-4000c-turntable), the sculptures are very pretty and look like they belong in an 18th-century themed room. Unfortunately, these statues are unable to play your mom's [old jazz records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brad-retro-mkii-turntable) -- or any records, for that matter. That functionality would make the Fabien Clerc's Earthenware sculpture just too perfect. **Implications** - The [retro revolution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beosystem-3000c) has found a place in the business world and technology is no longer everything. From fashion to technology and even cars, what is old is new again and consumers are looking for products that capture memories from a simpler time. In short, nostalgia drives consumerism and products that feed off of this drive have a place in the consumer world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Retro Revolution:** Opportunity for businesses to tap into the nostalgia trend and create products that capture memories from a simpler time. - **Nostalgia-driven Consumerism:** Consumers are seeking products that evoke nostalgia, presenting an opportunity for businesses to cater to this desire. - **Old Is the New New:** The resurgence of traditional and vintage elements in various industries opens up opportunities for businesses to incorporate retro aesthetics and designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate retro styles and designs that appeal to consumers seeking nostalgic fashion trends. - **Technology:** Opportunity for technology companies to create retro-inspired products that combine nostalgic design elements with modern functionality. - **Automotive:** Opportunity for car manufacturers to introduce retro-themed designs and features that cater to consumers looking for a nostalgic driving experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Memphis-Inspired Vinyl Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-turntable.md) - [Visceral Record Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-kinetic.md) - [Metallic Architectural Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rytm.md) - [Retro-Modern Turntable Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-turntable-concept.md) - [Elegant Upright Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blok-turntable.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rytm-1.md) - [Record-Cleaning Vinyl Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crescent-turntable.md) - [Modern Vintage-Inspired Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henry-turntable.md) - [Motor-Shaped Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotor-vinyl-record-player.md)
