# Olympic Basins Roca & Mariscal Beijing 2008 Limited Edition Collection By Ayman | Published 2008-07-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-basins-roca-javier-mariscal-beijing References: [madeindeco](http://www.madeindeco.com/bathroom/roca-mariscal-beijing-2008/) & [mariscal](http://www.mariscal.com/) The 2008 Beijing Olympic fever has reached wash basin design. Spanish designer Javier Mariscal has collaborated with famous bathroom company [Roca](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparking-change) on a limited edition series of wash basins that celebrate the Beijing Olympics. The wash basins feature assorted [Olympic sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milanocortina-medals), such as soccer, swimming and running drawn in a fun comic style on the basins. Check out the swimming version, one of the swimmers jumps in a diagonal angle over the swimmer in the next lane. I imagine these basins would be fun in schools and day care centers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Comic-style Basin Designs:** Opportunity for bathroom companies to create unique and playful wash basins inspired by pop culture or sports themes. - **Limited Edition Collaborations:** Businesses can partner with renowned designers or brands to release limited edition collections that generate excitement and exclusivity among customers. - **Sports-inspired Home Decor:** Potential for home decor companies to incorporate sports-related designs, such as Olympic sports, into their product offerings to cater to sports enthusiasts. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bathroom Fixtures & Accessories:** An opportunity for bathroom fixture companies to innovate their product offerings with unique and visually appealing basin designs. - **Design & Brand Partnerships:** Collaboration opportunities between designers or brands to create exclusive and limited edition collections, enhancing brand appeal and attracting customers. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can tap into the sports theme market by incorporating sports-inspired designs into their products to cater to sports enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Seashell-Like Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spire-washbasin.md) - [Textural Bathroom Sink Basins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washbasin-collection.md) - [Angular Ceramic Sink Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angle-washbasin.md) - [Playful Concrete Wash Basins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kast-wave-collection.md) - [Paris Olympics Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-2024-collection.md) - [Water Flow-Inspired Kiln Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volta-collection.md) - [Dual-Use Ceramic Basins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luneup.md) - [Marble Slab Washbasins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piano-washbasin.md) - [Electric Kiln-Made Unique Sinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volta-1.md)
