# Fruit-Inspired Design Collections Yuria Kailich and Joel Harding Showcase Soft Grounds By Amy Duong | Published 2025-05-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-grounds References: [item-enso.co](https://www.item-enso.co/)  Designers Yuria Kailich and Joel Harding had just presented their Soft Grounds Collection 02 during [NYCxDesign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-power). It is all a part of their experimental project in Item: Enso. The new range is a research of permanence and impermanence, so that each piece in the range is named after a fruit. It is then representative of its own path through ripeness and embodies the components of imperfections and sensory notions. This creates a deep connection to the natural world and is also a representative of time passing. One of the standout designs is the Carambola Table Lamp -- it is made with [ceramic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-collection) and is supported by a metal base with [washi paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shining-a-light) to soften it. The Durian Table Lamp is also notable with hand-patinte metal and slit details.
