Containing pencil-sharpeners shaped like tanks and a vase which resembles a mortar round, the Love & Peace Collection by Biaugust Design is an oddly intriguing juxtaposition of pure white ceramic material and iconic military apparatus. Without a doubt, these nifty pieces would definitely make a day at the office seem a whole lot more exciting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Militaristic Office Supplies:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation by combining unconventional design elements with everyday office products. - **Iconic Mash-up Design:** Opportunity to create unique products by blending unexpected concepts and materials. - **Playful Office Decor:** Opportunity to add excitement and personality to the workplace by incorporating unconventional and intriguing design elements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Office Supplies:** Opportunity for manufacturers and retailers to offer a new range of office supplies with unconventional designs. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor brands to create unique and attention-grabbing products that stand out from traditional designs. - **Gifts & Novelties:** Opportunity to develop and market novelty items that appeal to a wide range of consumers seeking unique and quirky products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Writing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-pencils.md) - [Contemporary Military Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk.md) - [Volcanic Rock-Inspired Cabinet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuff-pencil-cabinet.md) - [Aerospace-Inspired Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novium-edge-and-shuttleport.md) - [Opulent Armory Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lepe-1839-grenade-clock.md) - [Korean Game-Inspired Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-desk-accessories.md) - [Playful Industrial Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forming-function-nomad-collection.md) - [Juxtaposed Materials Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-diaries-collection.md) - [Grenade-Inspired Table Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lepe-1839.md)
