Designed by Kim Band, the Kokedama collection consists of ornamental plants that have been fitted into moss balls to make them capable of being implemented without the need for [traditional planter pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemisphere). Being that Kokedama is a Japanese word that translates to moss ball, the collection draws inspiration directly from this notion to create a series of objects suitable for a variety of [modern living and working spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantable-office). Each of the Kokedama collection indoor plants is crafted by hand in Amsterdam and are each made using high-quality materials. There are a variety of different sizes and styles to choose from to get just the right kind of look that's being strived for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Indoor Plant Decor:** The Kokedama collection offers a modern way to incorporate indoor plants into living spaces without the need for traditional planter pots. - **Handcrafted Home Accessories:** The Kokedama collection showcases the value of artisanal craftsmanship in creating unique moss ball plant arrangements. - **Sustainable Interior Design:** The Kokedama collection promotes eco-friendly practices by using high-quality materials and moss balls as alternative plant holders. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Kokedama's innovative approach to incorporating indoor plants offers opportunities for interior design professionals to create unique, nature-inspired spaces. - **Handicraft and Artisanal Goods:** The Kokedama collection highlights the demand for handcrafted products, presenting opportunities for artisans to create unique plant arrangements. - **Sustainable Home Decor:** With its focus on eco-friendly materials, the Kokedama collection caters to the growing market of consumers seeking sustainable interior design solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artsy Hanging Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-air-plant-mobile.md) - [Futuristic Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-klaustrafloria.md) - [Demure Dual-Function Hanging Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-fixture-planter.md) - [Self-Watering Multifunctional Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grow-lamp.md) - [Plant Care Tool Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prick-ldn.md) - [Plant-Friendly Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jcp-universe-coloniae.md) - [Plush Plant-Shaped Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amuseable-bonsai-tree.md) - [Minimalist Indoor Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-pot.md) - [Oversized Colorful Dynamic Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tfm.md)
