The [artist and goldsmith](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3-graces-of-gold) has created three sizes of gold bars which are in a pretty unique shape. The gold bars are made from [9.999 fine gold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Endeavor-Metals) and are produced by Martin Saemmer himself. The gold bars are packed in a solid Corian box for protection. It would be pretty cool to own a [solid gold bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-bar-whiskey-bitcoin-reserve), but what would you do with it? Make it a very expensive paperweight? Regardless, the Martin Saemmer Gold Bars are beautifully artistic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Unique Gold Bar Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create custom-designed gold bars for collectors - **Fine Gold Production:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced methods for refining and producing 9.999 fine gold - **Luxury Artistic Gold Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine gold with artistic designs to create unique luxury products ### Where This Applies - **Precious Metals:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new techniques for extracting and refining precious metals - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore collaborations between artists and goldsmiths to create innovative luxury products - **Collectibles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new ways to authenticate and track the ownership of luxury collectible items ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Topographical Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-california-bar.md) - [Gold Bartender Essentials Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bartender-essentials-set.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md) - [Artful Limited Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ed-ruscha-x-andsons.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Jewelry Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-in-gold.md) - [Insect-Inspired Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-bronze-sculptures.md) - [Gold-Detailed Luxe Soundbars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dione-opra-de-paris.md) - [Discounted Precious Metal Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Endeavor-Metals.md) - [Artful Solid Silver Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelnimbus-101-1.md)
