# Suspended Glass Containers Pret a Boire by Giorgia Zanellato is a Sculptural Houseware By Meghan Young | Published 2014-12-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giorgia-zanellato References: [fabricashop.myshopify](http://fabricashop.myshopify.com/products/pret-a-boire) & [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/extra-ordinary-gallery-features-ordinary-objects-made-better/) Giorgia Zanellato has designed a visually striking container that could easily be mistaken for a work of art. Although it can be used practically as a [carafe, vase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sungai-carafe) or even as a candle holder, it boasts a unique shape that will bemuse and delight people in equal amounts. Yet this should come as no surprise seeing as Giorgia Zanellato designed the vessel for the Fabrica Shop. Dubbed Prêt à boire, which is a term most often associated with wine, Giorgia Zanellato's vessel is made out of [metal and glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martini-shot-glass). A metal wire handle extends over the [glass container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-airtight-container-set), while also encircling it to create a tall and sturdy design. This frame also suspends the glass in midair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Suspended Glass Containers:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the glassware industry by creating visually striking containers that can serve multiple purposes and captivate consumers. - **Art-inspired Housewares:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the houseware industry by designing functional objects that double as art pieces and enhance the aesthetic appeal of everyday items. - **Wireframe Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in product design by incorporating wireframe elements into everyday objects, creating a visually intriguing and unique look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Glassware:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the glassware industry by exploring new shapes, materials, and suspension techniques to create visually striking containers. - **Housewares:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the housewares industry by combining functionality and aesthetics, blurring the line between practical objects and art pieces. - **Product Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the product design industry by incorporating wireframe elements into everyday objects, introducing a new visual language and design approach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Captivating Tonal Drinking Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podio-cup.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Natural Material Bottle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuwa-fuwa-collection.md) - [Flower-Inspired Glassware Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-verre-bonbon.md) - [Minimalist Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-glassware.md) - [Statement Glass Curvaceous Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juno-collection.md) - [Playful Packaging-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-milk-vase.md) - [Sculptural Glass Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-glass-bottles.md) - [Sculptural Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navazi.md)
