# Flowers Merged with Design Frederic Ruyant Vases By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-03-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looking-at-the-same-differently-frederic-ruyant-vases References: [fredericruyant](http://www.fredericruyant.com/) In case you haven't noticed, designers are different. They see things differently. Ordinary things like vases become a challenge to provide more than just a [container for greenery or flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-effect-vase). French designer Frederic Ruyant designed these "bloody urban green" [vases from ceramic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project) which allows the greenery to become integral with the container. To become one, if you will. "My aim is to endow these markers with a life of their own, a rhythm, a synergy between intuition, rectitude and pragmatism," said Ruyant. "[Linking together opposites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-home-object) is a way of comforting my own relation to reality." **Implications** - Homeowners are increasingly looking to adorn their interior spaces with modern decor that reflects aspects of their personality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Vases:** Designers are rethinking vases and making them more than just a container for greenery or flowers, which presents an opportunity for companies to create personalized and unique vases. - **Integrated Home Decor:** The trend toward larger and more elaborate home decor indicates an opportunity for designers and innovators to create more integrated and cohesive decor options. - **Minimalist Elegance:** Designers are leaning towards minimalism with the 'less is more' philosophy, creating an opportunity for companies to create designs that portray elegance through simplicity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** There is a growing demand for unique, modern decor that reflects homeowners' personalities and presents opportunities for new product offerings in the home decor sector. - **Ceramics:** Innovative designs like Frederic Ruyant's 'bloody urban green' vases highlight the potential for innovation in ceramics, presenting opportunities for designers and manufacturers in the industry. - **Florists:** This trend in personalized and innovative vases presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for florists to differentiate themselves and offer unique floral arrangements to their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Floral Grid Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-vase.md) - [Sculpturally Provocative Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-sculptural-vase.md) - [Greenery-Inspired Textured Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-textured-ceramic-vase.md) - [Connection-Inspired X-Shaped Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaax.md) - [Delicate Colorful Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-colorful-vase.md) - [Multifunctional Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iza-vase.md) - [Copper Tubular Minimal Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiroyuki-yuasa.md) - [Colorful Geometric Ceramic Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barva-vases.md) - [Affordable Designer Vase Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-vase.md)
