Boasting a biomimetics-centric design, the vase has a raw, edgy aesthetic that is inspired by the shaggy wooden exterior of a tree. The vase is achieved using a sheet metal inner container for the lining along with a layered plywood exterior that looks almost like a pinecone. The conceptual 'Gont' vase plays with light and shadow to create a decidedly demure item to place in a modern living space or office. The vase identifies what can be done to help further integrate [natural aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light) into an area as consumers look to enhance their spaces with touches of nature. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Biomimicry Design Aesthetics:** Opportunity for businesses to incorporate natural and raw aesthetics inspired by nature into their products and designs. - **Light and Shadow Manipulation:** Opportunity for companies to explore innovative ways of playing with light and shadow to create unique and demure decor items. - **Integration of Nature in Spaces:** Opportunity for organizations to cater to consumer demand for incorporating elements of nature in living spaces and offices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can leverage biomimicry design aesthetics to create unique and nature-inspired products. - **Interior Design:** Interior design firms can explore light and shadow manipulation techniques to enhance the ambiance of living spaces. - **Office Supplies:** Office supply companies can develop decor items that integrate natural elements to create a calming and nature-inspired work environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Vase Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingko-smart-vase-light.md) - [Eco Abstract Vase Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-vase.md) - [Nature-Inspired 3D-Printed Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-and-drop.md) - [Nature-Inspired Colorful Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anemona.md) - [Greenery-Inspired Textured Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-textured-ceramic-vase.md) - [Ocean-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-coralshaped-vase.md) - [Geometry-Inspired Vase Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-vase-collection.md) - [Experimental Pottery Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project.md) - [Nature-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-2.md)
