# Cross-Cultural Teapots Sucabaruca Coffee Set Embodies a Rich Blend of International Inspirations By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sucabaruca-coffee-set References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/archives/029595.php) & [lucanichetto](http://www.lucanichetto.com/ita/Projects/All-projects/Sucabaruca) Coffee drinking is an internationally enjoyed indulgence, so Luca Nichetto was inspired to create the Sucabaruca Coffee Set with a worldly aesthetic flavor. Looking to various countries and continents for artistic and cultural influences, the designer collaborated with Lera Moiseeva on a beautiful collection of crockery for Mjölk that's intended to heighten the experience of sipping. [Canadian maple wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-maple-latte) was used to make the warm textured tray upon which the [coffee pot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-moka-coffee-pot) and the handle-less coffee cups sit; meanwhile, the conical jug suggests the form of an Italian fictional character. The [smooth and pale ceramic material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces) makes mugs of lovely purist shapes that harken to the Scandinavian design tradition. Finally, the Sucabaruca Coffee Set is textured with subtle hand-carved patterns for distinctive fingerprints. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Worldly Aesthetic:** Exploring various countries and continents for artistic and cultural influences opens up opportunities for creating products with a global appeal. - **Hybrid Material Usage:** Combining different materials like Canadian maple wood and ceramic in coffee sets allows for unique and visually striking designs. - **Hand-carved Patterns:** Incorporating hand-carved patterns in crockery adds a personalized touch and creates a sense of individuality in a mass-produced product. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** The Sucabaruca Coffee Set demonstrates how the fusion of different cultural elements can be applied to home decor products, creating a unique and visually appealing experience. - **Kitchenware:** The use of hybrid materials in coffee sets presents an opportunity for innovation in the kitchenware industry, allowing for the creation of functional and aesthetically pleasing products. - **Ceramics:** The incorporation of hand-carved patterns in ceramic crockery showcases the potential for disruptive innovation within the ceramics industry, adding a touch of craftsmanship to mass-produced items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Puzzle Espresso Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moka-pot.md) - [Limited-Edition Cup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shade-akanbi.md) - [Modular Porcelain Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corcelain.md) - [Handmade Kitchen Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-buco-vita-x-commune-design.md) - [Country-Honoring Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-maker-concept.md) - [Collaborative Coffee-Celebrating Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finnish-coffee.md) - [High-End Ceramic Japanese Teapots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-drinkware.md) - [Playful Teapot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teapot-design1.md) - [Portable Ceramic Tea Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hukou.md)
