But it makes total sense considering all the crazy food creations that are featured on TrendHunter.com. So, really, I shouldn't be surprised. Part of the [International Kitchen Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konny) show, the Papila Food Design Exhibition actually showcased more than just food. It also explored the latest [kitchen innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kitchen-cosmo). But I agree with Brian Fichtner, food design is more interesting! Check out the gallery to see all the funky food designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **International Food Design:** A trend which involves bringing in flavors and design inspiration from different cultures to create unique culinary experiences and presentations. - **Kitchen Innovation:** A trend which involves incorporating latest technologies like virtual reality, robotics and smart appliances to enhance the cooking experience and create innovative kitchen spaces. - **Food and Design Integration:** A trend which sees professionals from both industries combining their skills to create experiences that merges functionality with aesthetics. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Innovative culinary presentations require the food industry to constantly adapt to changing consumer preferences and work with hospitality experts to create unique experiences. - **Interior Design:** Kitchen design has expanded beyond just functionality and has now made aesthetics a key factor.
