# Melting Vases Dripping Modern Decor By TrendHead | Published 2008-12-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melting-vases-virus-design-by-pieke-bergmans References: [todayandtomorrow.net](http://www.todayandtomorrow.net/2008/12/08/pieke-bergmans-for-al-sabah-art-design-collection/) & [piekebergmans](http://www.piekebergmans.com/) These gorgeous [melting, dripping vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foscarini-1) are part of artist Pieke Bergmans' 'Design Virus' series. She was asked by Al-Sabah Art & Design Collection to create a new version of the series for the ALEF exhibition at [Design Miami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knowledge-of-all-dark-things). Pieke Bergmans' working method is rather odd. Her technique is to drop [hand-blown glass vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnus-collection) on different objects such as chairs, ladders and tables to organically create these bulging shapes. Be sure to watch the video above to see how this is done. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Organic Sculptural Design:** Creating unique, bulging shapes through the organic process of dropping hand-blown glass vases on various objects. - **Dripping Aesthetics:** Exploring the beauty of melting and dripping forms in artistic creations. - **Disruptive Glass Design:** Challenging traditional notions of glassware by creating unconventional, melting vases. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can incorporate organic sculptural design into their work, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. - **Home Decor:** Home decor brands can explore the integration of melting and dripping aesthetics into their product lines, offering unique and visually appealing pieces. - **Glassware Manufacturing:** Glassware manufacturers can explore new techniques and materials to create disruptive glass designs, capturing the fascination with unconventional forms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Venetian Baked Glass Housewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arte-veneziana-melt.md) - [Anamorphic Fuzzy Glowing Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-vases.md) - [Artful Dynamic Kinetic Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-vases.md) - [Gradient Tonal Optical Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stretch-color.md) - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Nature-Inspired Colorful Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anemona.md) - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md) - [Mouth-Blown Glass Hydro Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydro-glass-vase.md) - [Sculptural Hand-Blown Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handblown-vase.md)
