The metal that is used to make these tape-inspired rolls is aluminum. The aluminium gives this structure both a hard and soft quality to it. This structure also shows the interaction between the soft clothes mixed together with the hard architecture. The ROLLS by Chikara Ohno of Sinato has one strip winding upwards. An interesting concept to attract attention to the store, wouldn't you say? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Metal Displays:** Opportunity for incorporating unique and attention-grabbing metal displays in retail environments. - **Tape-inspired Structures:** Potential for creating innovative architectural designs inspired by tape-like structures. - **Soft-hard Interactions:** Exploring the combination of soft garments and hard architecture for artistic and functional purposes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail:** Retailers can leverage metal displays to create visually striking store layouts and attract customers. - **Architecture:** Architects can use tape-inspired structures to create visually captivating and unconventional building designs. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can experiment with the juxtaposition of soft fabrics and rigid materials in their clothing designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Organic Store Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-manso.md) - [Japanese Landscape-Donned Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginza-41.md) - [Circular Rolling Bar Carts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolly-bar-cart.md) - [Futuristic Retail Kinetic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-kinetic-display.md) - [Seasonal Interactive Fashion Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washi-paper.md) - [Cascading Aluminum Pipe Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audeum-museum.md) - [Oozing Cake-Like Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roll-furniture.md) - [Denim-Wrapped Private Planes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gstar-raw1.md) - [Sculpted Denim Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomic-denim.md)
