# Animalistic Flower Holders The Jaime Hayon Showtime Vases are Inspired by Old MGM Musicals By Meghan Young | Published 2012-03-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showtime-vases References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/showtime-vases-by-jaime-hayon) & [bdbarcelona](http://www.bdbarcelona.com/) Each piece in the Showtime Vases collection looks like an imaginary animal. Fat or skinny, short or tall, these vases are full of character and personality. Complete with adorable ears, they have [hollow faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talk-talk) which the flowers stick out of. Despite the look of each vase, these flowers give the Showtime Vases a touch of true emotion. For instance, the color, size and shape of a flower strikes a different chord in the hearts of the viewer. The Showtime Vases were created by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon for [BD Barcelona Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-sculptural-vase). The collection was inspired by old MGM musicals, which give the vases a classic and playful appeal. They are made out of stoneware porcelain and come in [various colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Animal-inspired Flower Holders:** Creating flower holders that mimic the appearance of imaginary animals can provide a unique and whimsical touch to home decor. - **Emotional Flower Arrangements:** Exploring the emotional impact of different flower colors, sizes, and shapes in arrangements opens up opportunities for creating personalized and meaningful floral displays. - **Classic and Playful Design Influences:** Drawing inspiration from nostalgic elements like old MGM musicals can bring a touch of retro charm to modern design creations. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Integrating animalistic flower holders into the home decor industry can offer customers a distinctive and eye-catching option for displaying floral arrangements. - **Floristry:** The floristry industry can leverage the emotional aspect of flower arrangements to provide customized and emotionally impactful floral designs for various occasions. - **Design and Art:** Exploring classic and playful design influences in products like flower vases can inspire new artistic expressions and create unique design pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Character Ceramics Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danza-collection.md) - [Delicate Colorful Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-colorful-vase.md) - [Nature-Inspired Colorful Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anemona.md) - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Minimalistic Feline-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-silhouette-vase.md) - [Colorful Geometric Ceramic Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barva-vases.md) - [Playful Packaging-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-milk-vase.md) - [Nordic-Inspired Glass Blown Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fab-vase.md) - [Connection-Inspired X-Shaped Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaax.md)
