The vases are covered in wax and were made to cast light through their shells, giving it the beautiful glow of a full moon. Toshiya Hayashi and Hokuto Ando collaborated in 2013 to make a new design studio that allowed continued exploration of basic materials being applied in new and exciting ways and this new vase is a perfect example of that. The vase is shaped like an orb and was made by rotating [wax around the surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-solids-1), allowing the exterior to form naturally. With an LED light installed in the bottom, when this vase is filled with water, it will transform into a beautiful iridescent moon. These new full moon vases can be purchased individually or in multiples, allowing each consumer to create different effects. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Full Moon Design:** Designing and creating products inspired by the full moon can provide opportunities for unique and innovative creations. - **Light-casting Vases:** Creating vases that cast light through their shells can open up opportunities for more creative and visually stunning home decor products. - **Orb-shaped Home Decor:** Designing products with an orb shape, such as vases, lighting fixtures, or furniture, can provide a visually unique and modern touch to home decor. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore new ways to use basic materials and designs to create visually stunning and unique products. - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can explore new ways to incorporate light-casting designs into their products, allowing for more visually dynamic lighting solutions. - **Product Design:** The product design industry can explore new design techniques and materials to create visually striking and unique products, such as orb-shaped home decor items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rechargeable Illuminating Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet.md) - [Delicate Colorful Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-colorful-vase.md) - [Textured Moon-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-phase-lamp.md) - [Moon-Inspired Column Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/column-lights.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Sleek Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-lamp-concept.md) - [Sculptural Lunar Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonsetter-floor-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Vase Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingko-smart-vase-light.md) - [Nature-Inspired Colorful Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anemona.md) - [Spaced-Themed LED Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-room.md)
