Camera Lens-Inspired Drink Coasters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

FotodioX's 'LenzCoasters' Stack to Form a Camera Lens

— August 31, 2017 — Art & Design
Photo accessories brand FotodioX, recently released a new line of drink coasters dubbed the 'LenzCosaters,' a set of the circular, table-protecting accessories for the photography enthusiast.

Coasters are a living room staple, but their often boring designs tend to end up blending into the surroundings, making it difficult to encourage guests to use them. LenzCoasters solves this by offering the consumer a unique product which they can display and use with pride. Each piece contains a hidden magnet, holding the coasters together. When stacked, the coasters form a realistic-looking camera lens, offering a unique centerpiece for one's coffee table.

Thoughtfully designed, each item contains silicone padding on the top to help keep the drink from sliding around the table, while also offering an extra moisture-absorbing layer.
Trend Themes
1. Customized Drink Coasters - The trend of customized drink coasters offers opportunities for businesses to create unique and personalized products for consumers.
2. Functional Home Decor - The trend of functional home decor presents opportunities for businesses to create products that serve a dual purpose, such as table protectors that also serve as decorative pieces.
3. Hidden Magnets in Design - The trend of incorporating hidden magnets in design opens up opportunities for businesses to create innovative and interactive products, like coasters that can be stacked to form a larger object.
Industry Implications
1. Photography Accessories - The photography accessories industry could explore the opportunity of creating more unique and creative products like the 'LenzCoasters' to cater to photography enthusiasts.
2. Home Decor - The home decor industry can tap into the trend of functional decor by creating products that are both aesthetically pleasing and serve a practical purpose, like table protectors with added features.
3. Gift and Novelty - The gift and novelty industry can capitalize on the trend of customized drink coasters by offering personalized and unique options for consumers looking for fun and creative gifts.
