# Mod Mesh Baskets Net by Linn Kandel Simultaneously Conceals and Reveals its Contents By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-12-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/net-by-linn-kandel References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2011/12/09/net-tabletop-storage-by-linn-kandel.php) & [linnkandel](http://www.linnkandel.com/industrial_design/Net_project.html) There is an interplay between the candidness and covertness with which people treat possessions in their homes, and Net by Linn Kandel highlights this relationship by offering a place to hide items where they may still be visible. Unlike a shelf which exposes its contents or a cabinet or drawer which hide theirs, this pair of peculiar hampers conceals only subtly. Stiff wire frames embody a certain rigidity that is elegantly softened by the application of stretched nylon fabric. Graceful contours are created, and with them, a diaphanous cover over [deep polyamide pockets inside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flutterbox). Net by Linn Kandel is meant to be placed upon a coffee table where it may absorb the clutter on the surface. Assorted articles are well stored in these [abstract baskets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entwined-objects) where they can be kept close at hand and vaguely discernible by the eyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Transparent Storage:** Designing storage options that allow for a clear view of items while still concealing them can provide a new level of intrigue for consumers. - **Softening Rigid Materials:** Exploring ways to soften traditionally rigid materials, such as wire frames, can lead to innovative designs that appeal to consumers seeking unique home decor options. - **Functional Home Decor:** Combining functionality and aesthetics in home decor designs, like Net by Linn Kandel, can provide consumers with practical decor options that seamlessly blend into their homes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Exploring design options that provide both functionality and aesthetics can disrupt the home decor industry. - **Storage Solutions:** Innovating storage options that offer a new level of intrigue and appeal can disrupt the storage solutions industry. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Developing stretchable, durable materials, such as the nylon fabric used in Net by Linn Kandel, can disrupt the textile manufacturing industry and lead to innovative product designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timeless Wool Storage Baskets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-storage-basket.md) - [Playful Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets.md) - [Rotating Shopper Baskets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-concept.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Demure Dual-Compartment Laundry Hampers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joseph-joseph-tota.md) - [Whimsical Storage Baskets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-mushroom-woven-basket.md) - [Wireframed-Based Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lines-series.md) - [Sandbox-Like Modular Storage Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-storage-cabinet1.md) - [Lightweight Soft-Body Underbed Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-storage.md)
