Why not use shoes for wall art? Fernando a Robert has created the [shoe shrine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernica-x-stash), for shoes you’ve probably never worn but want to look at with love. The ‘shrine’ by Fernando a Robert is a twisted piece of metal that gets mounted to the wall and fits running shoes inside. So, clean up your prettiest running shoes, because they’re not for the street anymore. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South 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 - **Artistic Wall Displays:** Creating unique and visually appealing wall displays using unconventional materials like shoes can provide disruptive innovation opportunities in the art and interior design industries. - **Shoe Collecting Culture:** Exploring the rising trend of collecting and displaying shoes as a form of personal expression can lead to disruptive innovation in the fashion and retail industries. - **Reimagining Storage Solutions:** Developing innovative and space-saving storage solutions for valuable and prized possessions such as shoes can disrupt the home organization and storage industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Interior Design:** The art and interior design industries can explore the use of unconventional materials, like shoes, to create unique and visually appealing wall displays. - **Fashion and Retail:** The fashion and retail industries can tap into the trend of shoe collecting and develop innovative products and experiences that cater to shoe enthusiasts. - **Home Organization and Storage:** The home organization and storage industry can reimagine storage solutions that are specifically designed to showcase and protect valuable possessions like shoes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Envelope-Style Shoe Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-storage-rack.md) - [Minimal Shoe Rack Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-shoe-rack.md) - [Chic Shoe Care Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-styler.md) - [Artful Solid Silver Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelnimbus-101-1.md) - [Mossy Stone-Mirrored Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravest-studio.md) - [Stylish Multi-Use Entryway Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entryway-shoe-rack.md) - [Recycled Shoe-Made Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix-maison.md) - [Contemporary Sculptural Shrines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-shrine.md) - [Hygienic Shoe Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-styler-shoecare-and-shoecase.md)
