On the one side, you can draw straight lines and whenever you're so inclined, turn it over and draw the [beautiful Paris skyline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sax-paris-hotel). A gorgeous piece of workspace equipment, the skyline ruler is something I wish was around when I was in school, granted it might have distracted me from my studies, but it still would have been nice to have. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Exotic Skyline Rulers:** The trend of using beautifully crafted skyline rulers as a creative workspace accessory. - **City-inspired Desk Accessories:** The trend of incorporating cityscapes into creative office supplies and accessories, such as rulers and stationery. - **Functional Artistic Office Tools:** The trend of combining functionality with aesthetics in office tools, like rulers and other stationary items. ### Where This Applies - **Stationery Manufacturing:** The industry of producing creatively designed office supplies and stationery that combines form and function with aesthetic appeal. - **Design and Decor:** The industry of creating artistic and functional objects that adorn living and work spaces, like desk accessories and other office tools. - **Education:** The industry of revolutionizing teaching tools like rulers and stationery by making them fun, engaging and visually stimulating. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Dynamic Stationary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexagonal-ruler.md) - [Hybrid Angled Stationary Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/25-ruler.md) - [Curvaceous Analog Designer Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rulerc-concept.md) - [Multifunctional Angular Desktop Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexagonal-ruler-set.md) - [Digital Design Desktop Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neoruler.md) - [Haute Hybrid Designer Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotio-compass-and-ruler.md) - [Premium Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-measure-collection.md) - [City-Focused Postcard Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcard-series.md) - [Minimal Stainless Steel Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinwa.md)
