# Lava Lamp-Like Vessels The Laguna Glassware Collection by Attico is Inspired by the Lagoon By Meghan Young | Published 2014-11-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laguna-glass References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/laguna-glassware-attico-design-studio/) & [designattico](http://www.designattico.com/portfolio/774/) While the Laguna Glassware Collection might appear as though it was inspired by [traditional lava lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astro-lava-lamp), it was actually influenced by the lagoon, hence its name. A lagoon is a coastal basin separated from the sea by a barrier island and this is visually interpreted by an moat-like exterior that traps colored liquid for a creative effect. Forever separated from the drinkable liquids that the cups are meant to hold, this 'moat' essentially acts as a pattern for the designs overall. Design Milk writes, "The brightly-colored liquid moves and changes with each movement of the glass, and the three horizontal chromatic strips blur into each other like a Rothko painting." Designed by [Attico](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-mondes-de-diptyque), the Laguna Glassware Collection could easily be displayed as art than functional cups to drink out of. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 - **Creative Glassware:** There is an opportunity for companies in the glassware industry to create stylish and visually-interesting designs that serve dual purposes as both art and functional products. - **Visual Interpretation:** Incorporating visual interpretations of natural environments, such as the lagoon, into product designs presents opportunities for companies in a variety of industries to stand out in crowded markets. - **Dynamic Design:** Designs that incorporate movement and fluidity, such as the colored liquid movements in the Laguna Glassware Collection, have potential to disrupt traditional product categories in multiple industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Glassware:** Companies in the glassware industry could create new product lines that incorporate visually-interesting designs that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. - **Home Decor:** The incorporation of visually-stunning glassware designs, similar to the Laguna Glassware Collection, could be applied to other home decor products to create unique and engaging designs. - **Fashion:** The use of dynamic designs like those in the Laguna Glassware Collection could inspire new technologies and techniques for creating visually-stunning and movement-filled fashion items. ## 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) - [Artfully Liquid-Like Light Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp.md) - [Polish-Inspired Colorful Glass Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folk-collection.md) - [Volcanic Stone Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foscarini-lava-lamps.md) - [Blown Glass-Inspired Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luisa-collection.md) - [Glass Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassina-2.md) - [Minimalist Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-glassware.md) - [Structural Blown Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lokum-collection.md)
