# Unexpectedly Stable Stem Holders The Tangent & Grow Set Contains Mature Cuttings and Seedlings By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-03-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-grow References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/tangent-grow-hallgeir-homstvedt/) & [hallgeirhomstvedt](http://hallgeirhomstvedt.com/index.php?/2012/tangent/) You don't have to examine the Tangent & Grow collection for very long to start wondering how the elegant vessels stand. The [vases and the flower pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases) have all been given rounded bottoms, yet they're perched upright and look on the verge of toppling over. The truth is that the [ceramic containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project) don't need to balance independently; each piece has a magnet embedded in the very base, and this attracts another magnet in the surface of the special iron or wooden tray beneath. Hallgeir Homstvedt's quirky set consists of a [dome-shaped planter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-planter) and a series of three bouquet holders that come in a variety of colors. The Tangent & Grow collection invites you to arrange flower cuttings and to foster young greenery with equipment that looks ironically un-grounded. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Magnetic Planters:** Opportunity for innovative planters that use magnets to stay upright. - **Quirky Vases:** Opportunity for playful vases that challenge traditional design. - **Smart Plant Equipment:** Opportunity for technology to enhance plant growth and care in unique ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Décor:** Opportunity to innovate with products that bring a touch of whimsy to homes. - **Floriculture:** Opportunity to create unique products that enhance the beauty and health of plants. - **Gardening:** Opportunity to introduce technology to gardening tools and equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Stem Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-effect-vase.md) - [Gentle Slant Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-planter.md) - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Chic Staggered Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/staggered-planters.md) - [Vibrant Dynamic Wall Plant-Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floos.md) - [Personalized Floral Grid Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-vase.md) - [Water Catch-Integrated Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemisphere.md) - [Dynamic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-planters-1.md) - [Smart Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tendril-1.md)
