# Concrete Brain Bookends This Pair of Bookends is Inspired by the Knowledge It Holds Between Itself By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-11-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pair-of-bookends References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/concrete-brain-bookends/) & [shop.gessato](http://shop.gessato.com/concrete-brain-bookends.html) Those already missing Halloween or gearing up again for next year will fall in love with this anatomical pair of bookends. In line with millennials' current love of zombies, these concrete objects are designed to look like brains. The two hemispheres work together to support a stack of books on a dresser, shelf or cabinet. The gray matter squirms around the pair of bookends, with intricate details and even an anatomically correct cerebrum. Made by Lyon Betton, these make a good gift for a young boy, a science geek or any avid reader who needs something to organize their novels with. With books full of information between each half, it's only fitting that brains surround all that knowledge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Anatomical Bookends:** Anatomically-inspired bookends are a growing trend, catering to the millennial love of zombies and unique home decor. - **Concrete Home Accents:** Concrete home accents, like these brain bookends, are becoming popular among young consumers looking for modern and edgy designs. - **Nerdy Novel Organizers:** Novel organizers that cater to science geeks and avid readers are rising in popularity, offering a unique way to display and organize books. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore the market for unique and edgy bookends, targeting millennial consumers. - **Gifts and Collectibles:** The gifts and collectibles industry can tap into the demand for novelty bookends that cater to niche interests and hobbies. - **Publishing:** Publishing companies can collaborate with designers to create themed bookends that enhance the reading experience and appeal to book enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Greenery Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-propagation-bookend.md) - [Whimsical Theater-Themed Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-bookend.md) - [Parisian Building-Inspired Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-bookend.md) - [Minimally Engineered Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firm-book-end.md) - [Modular Wireless Speaker Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beat-bookend.md) - [Anatomical Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-skull-with-hidden-organs.md) - [Retro-Style Bookshelf Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speaker-bookend.md) - [Book-Themed Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-book-plushies.md) - [Sturdy Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cement-decor.md)
