Conceived by Korean designer Je Sung Park for Weekend Works, the Smoke Tissue Case was recently showcased at the Korea Design & Art Festival 2010. From a design aspect, I particularly love the tissue detail as the smoke. Overall, however, its socio-message trumps the design easily. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Factory-inspired Packaging:** Factory-inspired packaging trends present opportunities for designers to create unique and eye-catching designs that raise awareness about environmental issues. - **Socio-messaging Products:** The rise of socio-messaging products opens up a market for innovative designs that convey important social or environmental messages along with their functionality. - **Eco-conscious Design:** The Smoke Tissue Case exemplifies the eco-conscious design trend, showcasing how products can serve a functional purpose while also spreading awareness about environmental impact. ### Where This Applies - **Packaging Design:** The packaging design industry can embrace the factory-inspired trend to create visually striking packaging that educates consumers about environmental consciousness. - **Product Design:** The rise of socio-messaging products creates opportunities for product designers to incorporate meaningful social or environmental messages into their designs, enhancing their value and impact. - **Environmental Awareness:** The Smoke Tissue Case contributes to the industry of environmental awareness by using design to make a statement about the impact of factories on the environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Function Incense Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yongxi-incense-storage-and-holder.md) - [Designer Tissue Box Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scotties-and-house-home.md) - [Artistic Avian Incense Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-incense-holder.md) - [Cigarette-Style Tea Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/und.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Incense Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumaksae-incense-holder.md) - [Stylish Tissue Box Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-cover.md) - [Smokestack Factory-Inspired Routers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complex-1.md) - [Marine Waste Display Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/display-fixture.md) - [Mountainous Repurposed Crate Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-installation.md)
