# Ice Cream Cone Bouquets The Sdesignunit Steckmasse Collection Uses Everyday Containers for Flowers By Meghan Young | Published 2009-10-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sdesignunit-steckmasse-collection References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/take-out_flowers__15060.asp) & [sdesignunit](http://www.sdesignunit.com/ver08_H/steckmasse_01.html) Who would have thought ice cream flowers could be so appealing? My guess would have to involve the SDesignUnit Steckmasse collection. Although not appetizing, these unique flower holders are making my decor sense salivate. The idea behind the SDesignUnit Steckmasse collection (FYI: Steckmasse means ‘floral foam’ in German) is to take everyday carriers and re-appropriate them as flower transports. I’m pretty sure I’m going to take the ice cream cone idea! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Re-appropriation of Everyday Objects:** Finding new uses for everyday carriers sparks creativity and innovation. - **Unconventional Floral Arrangements:** Creating unique flower holders challenges traditional notions of floral design. - **Novelty Home Decor:** Incorporating unconventional items into home decor adds a playful and whimsical touch. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Floral Design:** Exploring new ways to showcase and transport flowers expands the possibilities of floral design. - **Home Decor:** Integrating unconventional objects into home decor opens up new avenues for creative and personalized interior design. - **Food and Beverage Packaging:** Repurposing food and beverage packaging as floral holders presents opportunities for sustainable and eco-friendly design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Packaging-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-milk-vase.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-product.md) - [Ice Cream-Resembling Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-serve-lamp.md) - [Flower-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-your-flowers-series.md) - [Conceptual Fresh Flower Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flora.md) - [Delicate Colorful Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-colorful-vase.md) - [Ganache-Filled Dessert Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truffle-cones.md) - [Soft-Serve Ice Cream Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softserve-ice-cream-pouches.md) - [Floral Springtime Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flowers-series.md)
