The collection was created in a collaboration between Jodoc Elmiger and Valerie Jacquemet. Marbles are traditionally small spherical toys that are made from glass or plastic and can be used to fiddle with or play games. The giant marbles in the Komosphaera collection function simply as decor pieces. They are made from glass and have the same intricate interior colors that the smaller versions of the toys also features. These [spherical glass balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant) can sit on floors, outside or on tables to act as unique art pieces in the home that will likely function as a talking point. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Giant-decor:** Creating large, unique interpretations of traditionally small decorations can provide opportunities for innovative and eye-catching decor pieces. - **Intricate-interior-designs:** Utilizing intricate designs on the interior of decor pieces provide an opportunity for unique and visually appealing designs. - **Functional-decor:** Creating decor pieces that can function beyond their aesthetic purposes provide opportunities for functional and practical decorations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home-decor:** Creating unique, functional decor pieces can disrupt the traditional home decor industry. - **Glass-production:** Innovative production techniques and materials can provide for new and exciting glass decor pieces. - **Art-installation:** Using giant marbles as art installations can break traditional perceptions of art and provide new and bold artistic expressions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metallic Super-Ellitpical Desk Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altdynamic-superegg.md) - [Inflated-Illusion Ceramic Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-up.md) - [Stone-Inspired Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karim-rashid-kobble.md) - [Planetary-Inspired Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-collection.md) - [Elegant Glass Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebbles-collection.md) - [Glass Solar System Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solar-system-in-a-sphere.md) - [Bulbous Whimsical Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neotenic.md) - [Structural Blown Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lokum-collection.md) - [Statuesque Marble Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mawe-low-coffee-table.md)
