# Everyday Accomplishment Tributes Lara De Greef Celebrates the Mundane in Olympic Gold By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-01-01 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lara-de-greef References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/olympic-gold-by-lara-de-greef/) & [laradegreef.nl](http://www.laradegreef.nl/pages/products/olympic.html) The Greeks, and perhaps those that came before, had the habit of making [statues and monuments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-collection) to commemorate great achievements. Today we do the same with [trophies and memorials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennis-hall-of-fame). Artist Lara de Greef apparently thought that our [everyday activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ordinary-habit) weren’t getting enough recognition, hence this project titled Olympic Gold. Lara de Greef depicts people doing really amazing things like putting on shoes, or pants, or brushing their teeth. It’s like a really sarcastic ‘cherish every moment’ art piece. I like it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Everyday Accomplishment Tributes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating products or services that celebrate and commodify mundane activities to provide a source of inspiration and recognition for everyday achievements. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing sarcastic or unconventional art pieces that challenge the traditional notion of what is considered extraordinary or deserving of recognition. - **Consumer Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing unique and creative consumer products that commemorate everyday activities, allowing individuals to appreciate the small moments in life. - **Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Organizing events or experiences that highlight and commemorate everyday accomplishments, offering a platform for individuals to share and celebrate their mundane achievements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [3D-Scanned Sports Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-statues.md) - [Bright Celebratory Olympic Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-2024-1.md) - [Athlete-Centric Bingo Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-your-bingo-moment.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Celebrated Athletic Prosthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ffate.md) - [Playful Tomato Athletes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-games-campaign.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md) - [CD-Comprised Towering Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratagems.md)
