Comprised of six small bowls, soup bowls and plates, this unique urban supper set stacks to erect what resembles the Renaissance civic structures of Florence. Disassembled, the Seletti 'Palace' porcelain tableware collection is just as compelling. Each dish has painted imprints of arches, pilasters, colonnades, doors and windows; however, they also house organized and symmetrical floor plans on the insides, suggesting one has actually revealed a horizontal cross-section of the building. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Tableware:** Companies in the ceramics industry can explore opportunities in developing modular tableware to offer more creative and customizable dining experiences. - **Architectural-inspired Designs:** Designers across various industries can take inspiration from architectural designs to create unique and visually appealing products. - **Stackable Products:** Industries can explore the potential of developing stackable products, including tableware, to optimize space and offer convenience to consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Ceramics Industry:** Ceramics companies can capitalize on the trend of modular tableware by developing their own line of stackable and customizable dishes. - **Interior Design Industry:** Interior designers can incorporate architectural-inspired designs in their furniture and decorative pieces to offer unique and visually interesting spaces. - **Home Goods Industry:** Companies in the home goods industry can explore the trend of stackable products and develop innovative storage solutions and space-saving items for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Patterned Ceramic Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patterned-ceramic-plates.md) - [Porcelain Dinnerware Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain.md) - [Chic Stackable Tableware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-ecosystem.md) - [Hand-Painted Ceramic Plate Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destree-x-cabana.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Stackable Clay Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases.md) - [Handmade Kitchen Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-buco-vita-x-commune-design.md) - [Venetian Baked Glass Housewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arte-veneziana-melt.md) - [Imperfect Pasta Bowl Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasta-bowl.md)
