These brilliantly quirky [designer vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navazi) are called, ‘impronta’ and has a [massive footprint engraved](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imprint-collection) in the glass. You might think, "Oh, that doesn’t sound that nice to have on display." But oddly, the vases are really quite terrific looking with that mix of dirty, clean nature.

The vases are made by Italian designers of the Whomade Collection which will be on display at Macef in Milan in January. I would like to get one made with a [print of my own wellington boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-paw-bottle).
