Sender's fun home accessories make an instant statement when displayed and resemble characters with wild, green hair. Once accented with foliage or flowers, each suspended planter takes on a personified image and will appeal to design fans with a sense of humor. Rachel Sender's impressive [line of ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virginia-sin) is displayed in a neutral palette of white, creme and grey tones and features dotted eyes and drawn-on lips.
