This unique collection features a bold set of skateboards that aim to blend the world of [automotive and mobility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cao-fei-art-car) in an expressive and unique way. The skateboards features in the Motus Capsule Collection take inspiration from designs of vintage cars with geometric patterns. Each board is beautifully hand-painted with designs featured prominently on the tops of the boards. The Motus Capsule Collection currently features four designs with unique colorways: Forest, Midnight, Petroleum and Pure Black. The names are related to the colors used to create the background on the boards. The first three colorways -- Forest, Midnight and Petroleum -- feature similar geometric patterns outlined by a white line and with opposing shades. The final colorway -- Pure Black -- stands out from the other designs as it is made of two different black paints. This final design also features white lines that meet to form an "A" that represents the identity of both brands. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Automotive-inspired Skateboards:** Opportunity for creating unique skateboards that combine automotive design elements and mobility concepts. - **Geometric Pattern Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: incorporating bold and expressive geometric patterns into various products. - **Hand-painted Artwork on Products:** Explore the potential of incorporating hand-painted designs to add a personalized and artistic touch to consumer goods. ### Who This Affects Most - **Skateboard Industry:** Innovation opportunity: infusing automotive and mobility themes into skateboard design and functionality. - **Art and Design Industry:** Disruptive potential: exploring the integration of geometric patterns and hand-painted artwork across different artistic mediums. - **Consumer Goods Industry:** New opportunities for unique and visually striking products through the incorporation of automotive design elements and hand-painted artwork. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Punk Skate Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-skateboards.md) - [Artful Skateboard Deck Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraftwerk-collection.md) - [Iconic Pop Art Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateroom-x-andy-warhol-foundation.md) - [Psychedelic Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia.md) - [Pop Art Skateboard Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-skateroom-1.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Stamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-inspired-stamp-collection.md) - [Artist-Collaborated Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impala-hera-cruiser.md) - [Sleek Freestyle Snowboard Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welcome-x-686.md) - [Motorsport-Inspired Premium Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpinestars.md)
