# Design-Friendly Artificial Snow Dunes Note Design Studio's Installation Explores Winter Landscapes By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-03-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-dune References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/02/05/snowtopped-note-design-studio-snow-dunes-tarkett-stockholm/) & [notedesignstudio.se](http://notedesignstudio.se/) This artificial snow dune installation by [Note Design Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-ottsj) is arranged in conjunction with [Stockholm Design Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments). The man-made mounds are exhibited via glass pavilions on the roof of the At Six hotel. The installation is appropriately dubbed 'Snowtopped.' Besides offering a visual embellishment for guests of the hotel, the project has another aim. The artificial snow dunes have been manufactured by French company [Tarkett](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iq-motion), using its vinyl flooring products. With the challenge of accurately depicting curvaceous and smooth organic forms, the installation is able to showcase the properties and flexibility of Tarkett's offering. Through infusing a product that is available to consumers within installations that ultimately exhibit the functionalities of said product, companies are able to capture the attention and delight their target audience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artificial Snow Installations:** The creation of artificial snow-based installations offers opportunities for product demonstrations and immersive design experiences. - **Functional Product Exhibitions:** Incorporating products into installations allows for the showcasing of a product's properties and functionality in a visually compelling way. - **Design-friendly Landscapes:** Designers can take inspiration from winter landscapes to create immersive and visually interesting installations perfect for events or experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Flooring Industry:** Flooring companies can explore the use of vinyl flooring for creative installations like artificial snow dunes, creating new opportunities for showcasing product functionality and visually appealing designs. - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels and event spaces can utilize immersive installations like the Snowtopped exhibit to create unique and memorable experiences for guests. - **Design Industry:** Designers can draw inspiration from the Snowtopped exhibit and winter landscapes to create visually interesting and immersive installations for events or experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Snowfall-Inspired Sofa Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowhouse-sofa.md) - [Material-Accented Dreamscape Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamscape-exhibit.md) - [Snow-Constructed Car Showrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-snow-space.md) - [Mountainous Holiday Ski Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-hotel-rusutsu.md) - [Desert Dune-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nando-studio.md) - [Desert-Inspired Floor Coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-rug.md) - [Stone-Like Discreet Glass Viewpoints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drifting-stones.md) - [Mountainous Repurposed Crate Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-installation.md) - [Mangrove Forest-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/once-upon-a-forest.md)
