Rusted Homeware Items

This Home Decor Collection Changes in Appearance Over Time

— September 27, 2016 — Art & Design
The London-based designer Ariane Prin has created more homeware items for her 'Rust Collection.'

The collection is made by combining metal dust with plaster to create and mold different objects. The pieces are handmade and as time passes, the metal dust they are made from begins to oxidize and rust -- eventually changing the color and texture of the homeware items. The collection includes pots, planters and clocks that are made up of different colored wedges that make up each hour of the day. The items in the collection can be used for various functional purposes or simply as decor in the home.

The Rust Collection uses a creative method and material to produce objects that are distinctive and dynamic.
Trend Themes
1. Oxidization Homeware - Design and create homeware items that change in appearance over time due to oxidization, offering customers a unique and evolving home decor experience.
2. Metal Dust Fusion - Incorporate metal dust into plaster molds to create handmade homeware items with a rustic aesthetic, appealing to customers looking for one-of-a-kind and vintage-inspired home decor.
3. Color-changing Objects - Develop a collection of homeware items that undergo color and texture transformations as time passes, providing customers with visually captivating and ever-changing decor pieces.
Industry Implications
1. Home Goods - The home goods industry can explore incorporating innovative materials and manufacturing techniques to produce homeware items with unique and dynamic qualities, revolutionizing the home decor market.
2. Art and Design - Artists and designers can experiment with unconventional materials, like metal dust and plaster, to create functional and aesthetically pleasing homeware collections that fuse artistry and practicality.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers can leverage the Rust Collection's oxidization process and evolving appearance to introduce a new element of surprise and adaptability into their design concepts, catering to clients seeking dynamic and personalized spaces.
