It is a [dual personality vase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-vase) that comes in a modern rectangular shape. Yet with the blunt force of a couple hammer hits, Introverso 2 reveals a more traditional [curvaceous shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navazi). Designed by Paolo Ulian and Moreno Ratti, Introverso 2 is made out of [solid marble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-frammenti). Yet the surface has been cut to reveal slats. These slats easily chip away when hit with a hammer in order to form the new shape. Fun and interactive, the Introverso 2 vase would make a stylish addition to any home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 68% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dual Personality Products:** The Introverso 2 vase showcases the potential for products to have multiple functions or appearances, providing users with a unique and interactive experience. - **Interactive Home Decor:** The Introverso 2 vase exemplifies the growing trend of home decor items that offer an interactive and engaging element, appealing to consumers seeking more than just aesthetics. - **Multi-material Design:** The use of solid marble and the incorporation of slats in the Introverso 2 vase highlight the trend of combining different materials to create visually striking and versatile products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** The Introverso 2 vase presents opportunities for companies in the home decor industry to create innovative and interactive products that enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of living spaces. - **Product Design:** The Introverso 2 vase serves as inspiration for product designers looking to create unique and multi-functional items that challenge traditional design norms. - **Artisanal Craftsmanship:** The craftsmanship and materiality of the Introverso 2 vase open up possibilities for artisans and craftsmen to experiment with unconventional materials and techniques to create distinctive and customizable products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Milled Three-Dimensional Puzzle Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-bodies.md) - [Multifunctional Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iza-vase.md) - [Dual-Purpose Vintage-Inspired Home Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-home-object.md) - [Stackable Clay Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases.md) - [Elegant Ivory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivory-vase.md) - [Playful Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets.md) - [Artful Dynamic Kinetic Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-vases.md) - [Sculpturally Provocative Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-sculptural-vase.md) - [Connection-Inspired X-Shaped Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaax.md)
