Inspired by the [Canadian flag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-for-the-leaf), it appropriately celebrates the 2010 Winter Games. What I am a particular fan of is its [simplistic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mjlk)--it doesn't overdo the whole Canadian theme. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Nationalistic Home Decor:** Branding household items such as furniture or home decor with national symbols celebrating events or a nation's heritage - **Minimalistic Design:** A reimagining of nationalistic symbolism into a minimalistic design to appeal to modern tastes - **Patriotic Creativity:** An outpouring of creativity in response to patriotic events or emotions, expressed through design and branding ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturing timeless furniture that incorporates national symbols that are minimalist and not too overbearing - **Home Decor:** Tapping into the growing trend of celebrating national pride through unique and creative home decor items - **Marketing & Branding:** Leveraging nationalistic events and emotions to inspire creative marketing campaigns that are not cliche or overly simplistic ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance-Driven Olympic Athlete Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/team-canada-kits.md) - [Rustic Wooden Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadian-flag-cooler.md) - [Illustrated Patriotic Product Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-drinkware.md) - [Upcycled Couch Sports Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/off-the-couch-bags.md) - [Canadian-Inspired Tea Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadian-tea-towel.md) - [Olympics-Inspired Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-running-shoe.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Canadian-Focused Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-for-the-leaf.md) - [Limited Celebratory Bold Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/togo.md)
