Yet that is not because the [bathroom sink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luneup) feels soft. Instead, it looks soft with its subtle sloping lines and bulbous center. The ceramic plate in the middle not only adds another dimension to the design, it also hides the traditional metal plate in order to give it is a cleaner look. Overall, Fuji by Emo Design has a rectangular shape that will suit many different environments. According to the creators, "The design language interprets the continuous flowing of water through convex lines that evolve into soft surfaces, giving the pleasant feeling of [ceramic naturalness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virginia-sin)." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Soft Ceramic Sinks:** The trend of soft ceramic sinks offers disruptive innovation opportunities for bathroom design and ceramic manufacturing industries. - **Convex Lines and Soft Surfaces:** The trend of convex lines and soft surfaces in product design offers disruptive innovation opportunities for various industries such as furniture, home decor, and automotive design. - **Hiding Traditional Elements:** The trend of hiding traditional elements in product design for a cleaner and more streamlined look offers disruptive innovation opportunities for industries such as home appliances, electronics, and kitchenware design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bathroom Design:** The soft ceramic sink trend offers disruptive innovation opportunities for bathroom designers to create new and unique shapes and designs for sinks and other bathroom fixtures. - **Ceramic Manufacturing:** The trend of soft ceramic sinks offers disruptive innovation opportunities for ceramic manufacturers to develop new techniques and processes to create ceramic products with softer edges and surfaces. - **Furniture and Home Decor:** The trend of convex lines and soft surfaces in product design offers disruptive innovation opportunities for furniture and home decor designers to create new and interesting shapes and forms for their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textural Bathroom Sink Basins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washbasin-collection.md) - [Dynamic Marble Sink Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinito.md) - [Angular Ceramic Sink Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angle-washbasin.md) - [Collaborative Seashell-Like Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spire-washbasin.md) - [Ultra-Modern Freestanding Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freestanding-sink.md) - [Electric Kiln-Made Unique Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volta-1.md) - [Sculptural 3D-Printed Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-sink.md) - [Illuminated Base Bathroom Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antoniolupi-albumelux.md) - [Slick Bathroom Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slick-bathroom-sink.md)
