# Gummy Bear Lightboxes The Mayice Presentation Box is Made from Colorful Melted Candies By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-04-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/presentation-box References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/light-box-is-made-of-a-sweet-and-experimental-material-melted-gummy-bears/) & [mayicework](http://www.mayicework.com/) Waning to develop an artful presentation box and explore new materials at the same time, the designers of Mayice found a perfect substrate that was flexible, translucent in gummy bears. The boxes are given stricture with acrylic frames and feature [melted fruit candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twg-singapore) that form artfully abstract images. As well as having a unique look, the [candy boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swedish-tasting) also have a scent that matches the melted candies that were used in the construction process. The boxes are meant to be mounted against a white wall so that natural light can shine through and project patterns onto the surrounding environment. The inspiring Mayice Lightbox shows that unusual food ingredients like gummy bears have the potential for new uses beyond being visually pleasing as art in packaging, presentation and decor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 77% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artful Packaging:** Exploring new materials and using unusual food ingredients in packaging design. - **Translucent Designs:** Creating translucent products that allow natural light to shine through and project patterns. - **Scented Products:** Incorporating scents that match the materials used in product construction. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Packaging:** There is an opportunity to innovate by using unconventional materials and creating visually pleasing packaging designs. - **Home Decor:** Translucent designs and light projection can be applied in home decor products to create unique visual effects. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore the use of unusual materials like gummy bears to create visually striking and scented artworks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gummy Bear Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeezable-toy.md) - [Gummy-Studded Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummy-bears-in-ice-cream.md) - [Buildable Gummy Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amos-4d-gummy-blocks.md) - [Year-Round Gummy Candy Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haribo-box-of-happy.md) - [Rule-Breaking Gummy Bears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vandal-gummy-bears.md) - [Gummy Candy-Inspired Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-collection.md) - [Candy-Like Computer Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayku-accessories.md) - [Pasta-Themed Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macaroni-cheese-gummies.md) - [Buildable Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummy-lunchables.md)
