# Cylindrical Metal Vases The Workshop Gallery Designs Minimalist and Serene Plant Holders By Meghan Young | Published 2014-11-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metal-vase References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/copper-and-brass-vases/) & [theworkshopgallery](http://www.theworkshopgallery.com/) The metal vases designed by The Workshop Gallery, a design studio based in Singapore, are very chic. They take on a [minimalist and minuscule look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-glassware) that is not necessarily meant to hold flowers. Although people are more than welcomed to place small flower arrangements in the metal vases, they better suit serene rock and moss gardens. Full of character, the metal vases are not as industrial as some may think. Available in [brass and copper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flor-de-bronce), their simple shape is much more sleek and modern than rugged and masculine. Yet the material will change over time, deepening in tone as metal vases enter an unavoidable oxidation process. Of course, people can keep them nice and shiny by polishing them regularly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Minimalist Metal Vases:** There is a growing trend for minimalist metal vases that offer a sleek and modern look. - **Alternative Plant Holders:** The popularity of using metal vases as plant holders in serene rock and moss gardens is on the rise. - **Aging Patina Effect:** The natural oxidation process of metal vases creates a unique aging patina effect, which is becoming desirable in home decor. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore the market demand for minimalist metal vases and capitalize on the growing popularity of alternative plant holders. - **Gardening and Landscaping:** The gardening and landscaping industry can introduce metal vases as innovative and stylish options for creating serene rock and moss gardens. - **Metalwork and Craftsmanship:** The metalwork and craftsmanship industry can focus on perfecting the aging patina effect of metal vases to meet the increasing demand for unique and aged aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Floating Stem Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-effect-vase.md) - [Affordable Designer Vase Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-vase.md) - [Minimalistic Feline-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-silhouette-vase.md) - [Greenery-Inspired Textured Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-textured-ceramic-vase.md) - [Exquisite Circular Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-vases.md) - [Personalized Floral Grid Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-vase.md) - [Ocean-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-coralshaped-vase.md) - [Miniature Cylindrical Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanakubari.md)
