# Perching Picnic Boxes The Nendo Kotoli for Ruinart is Inspired by Birds on Telephone Wires By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-05-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-kotoli-for-ruinart References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/40496/) & [nendo.jp](http://www.nendo.jp/en/works/detail.php?y=2011&t=214) To eat alfresco can be a great way to enjoy the nature that infiltrates the city, and the [Nendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-cheers) Kotoli for [Ruinart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicolas-ruinart-pavilion) is a picnic set that embodies this overlap with absolute elegance. The image of birds perched along telephone wires is recreated in the design of this [bird cage travel box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flutterbox), complete with a straight edged handle and a matching cantilevered bottle stopper. The collection includes stemless champagne flutes that must be held between the fingers, or set down in a rather precarious way. Small metal clips hook onto the handle and the stopper which provide a closed loop in which the tapered glasses can be placed. An excursion with the beverage set by Nendo, Kotoli for Ruinart, might be your ticket to a refreshing inner city escape. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Al Fresco Dining:** The trend towards outdoor dining will continue as people seek to enjoy nature while still in the city. - **Bird-inspired Design:** Designs that draw inspiration from nature, such as the Nendo Kotoli for Ruinart, will continue to resonate with consumers. - **Travel-friendly Dining Sets:** As more people look to travel and explore, there will be a demand for portable and compact dining sets that can be taken on the go. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can capitalize on the trend towards outdoor dining by offering more al fresco options and unique dining experiences. - **Design:** Designers can explore how to incorporate nature-inspired elements into their products, like the bird-inspired design of the Nendo Kotoli for Ruinart. - **Travel and Leisure:** Companies in the travel and leisure industry can offer portable and travel-friendly dining sets as part of their offerings, making it easier for people to enjoy a gourmet experience on-the-go. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Automotive Picnic Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-home-hyde.md) - [Nesting Gem-Like Drinking Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upsidedownside-glasses.md) - [Multifunctional Park Picnic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-picnic-furniture.md) - [Design-Forward Champagne Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simon-porte-jacquemus.md) - [Landscape-Inspired Bento Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyobodo-fiume.md) - [Ourdoor Dining Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tobachi-collection.md) - [Victorian-Inspired Summer Hampers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-1.md) - [Stunning Nature-Inspired Tablescapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seedlip.md) - [Stackable Compact Sake Set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/non-sake-set.md)
