# Eco-Conscious Tea Sets This Handmade Porcelain Tea Set by Laima Grigone is Made with Care By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-06-07 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laima-grigone References: [craftbritain](http://craftbritain.co.uk/2013/05/08/laima-grigone-handmade-porcelain-tea-set/) & [Saltfox](http://Saltfox.co.uk) We've become somewhat disconnected in our society from the natural world, which is something that Laima Grigone looks to address with her [handmade porcelain tea set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-drinkware). Created by hand and using a variety of different [natural materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sungai-carafe), Grigone explains that, “For millennia our bond with nature has been intimate and secure, but now is becoming increasingly fragile. My work is centred upon the importance of being connected to the land and having a [light footprint on the Earth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosana-sousa).” The artist's attention and connection to the natural world is a clear influence when viewing the various sets she has created. The work is quality, conscious and touches on an important notion that anyone around the world can truly appreciate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Handmade Porcelain:** Opportunity for entrepreneurs to create unique, eco-conscious products using handmade porcelain. - **Natural Material:** Growing demand for products made from natural materials presents an opportunity for sustainable and environmentally-friendly businesses. - **Connect with Nature:** Opportunity to develop products and services that help people reconnect with nature and promote a sustainable lifestyle. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore the use of handmade porcelain to create eco-conscious and nature-inspired products. - **Home Decor:** Home decor industry can tap into the trend of using natural materials to create sustainable and environmentally-friendly products for homes. - **Wellness and Lifestyle:** Wellness and lifestyle businesses can offer products and experiences that help people reconnect with nature and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Communicative Tea Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gptea-set.md) - [Natural Landscape-Inspired Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-collection.md) - [Innovative Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-tableware1.md) - [Porcelain Dinnerware Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain.md) - [Portable Ceramic Tea Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hukou.md) - [Opulent Floral Tea Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brew-to-a-tea.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Tea Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md) - [Stunning Sustainable Pottery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-pottery.md)
