# Insectified Ceramics Laura Zindel's Dishware is Infected With Insects and Birds By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laura-zindel References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/design/laura-zindel-ce.php) & [laurazindel](http://www.laurazindel.com/index.html) This may seem very strange considering the creepy nature of Laura Zindel's dishware, but I'm loving her unique patterns and [insect images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table). Perhaps I'm just sick or she's just that talented. Featuring exquisitely drawn [black and white illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu), Laura Zindel's [hand-crafted ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carolina-k) can't help but draw you in (even if you're as terrified of tarantulas as I am). Available online at Blackbird, I'm sure you won't be waiting until Halloween to pick up a set of Laura Zindel's dishes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Artistic Ceramics:** There is a trend of artistic ceramics with unique patterns and illustrations that draw customers in. - **Insect-themed Designs:** Insect-themed designs are becoming popular and offer opportunities for creative applications in various industries. - **Hand-crafted Products:** Hand-crafted products are becoming increasingly popular and offer opportunities for small-scale production and customization. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The trend of artistic ceramics and insect-themed designs offers disruptive innovation opportunities for the home decor industry. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The trend of insect-themed designs in ceramics could inspire fashion and accessory designers to create unique products. - **Food and Beverage:** Artistic ceramics with unique patterns and illustrations could be used to add visual appeal to food and beverage presentations, offering disruptive innovation opportunities for the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hand-Painted Ceramic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handpainted-ceramic-collections.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Artsy Surrealist Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world.md) - [Adorable Ceramic Homeware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-homeware1.md) - [Luxurious Patterned Ceramic Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patterned-ceramic-plates.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Insect-Inspired Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-bronze-sculptures.md) - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Dainty Floral Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cynthia-rowley-1.md)
