These cute and clever Christmas ornaments will add that dose of color that many houses tend to lack during the winter holidays (can you sense the sarcasm there?). Designed by Selab Studio, an external collective associated with the Italian modern products house Seletti, the Pantone Xmas Ball is available in a range of exclusive paint chip colors. They are made out of vetro and glass, giving them that delicate detail that more Christmas decorations have. Yet the Pantone Xmas Ball is much more contemporary, perfect for the modern home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Contemporary Christmas Decor:** Creating modern and unique Christmas decorations for the contemporary home. - **Colorful Winter Holidays:** Adding vibrant colors to traditional winter holiday decor. - **Innovative Ornament Designs:** Introducing creative and unconventional designs for Christmas ornaments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor companies to develop a line of contemporary Christmas decorations. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore new ways to incorporate vibrant colors into traditional winter holiday products. - **Gift and Specialty Retail:** Potential for retailers to offer exclusive and unconventional Christmas ornament options for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Prepackaged Goods Christmas Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-mills-christmas-ornaments.md) - [Novelty Supermarket Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldis-novelty-baubles.md) - [Sculpted Holiday Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastel-palette.md) - [Drinking Vessel Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beernaments.md) - [Candy-Filled Christmas Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-hunt-series-ornament.md) - [Seamless Color-Changing Christmas Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festavia-string.md) - [Sparkling Illuminated Festive Wreaths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starry-wreath.md) - [Christmas Puzzle Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/130-piece-puzzle-ornaments.md) - [Colorful Emotion-Evoking Decor Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-home-and-pantone.md)
