Made from [marble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusine-coasters) that's colored charcoal or gray-white, the tealight holders can alternatively be used to hold dinner napkins in place. With this, consumers are able to achieve a modern look for their dinner tables by allowing the accessories to complement one another flawlessly. Although the appearance of the tealight holders is subtle overall, the oversized geometric shapes make them stand out so that they're at the center of focus. Those wishing to get a set of the unique tealight holders can find them during London Design Week and the Shoreditch Design Triangle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 15% | 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Multipurpose Homeware:** Designing homeware that serves multiple purposes, enhancing the value for consumers. - **Marble Decor:** Using marble in the design of home accessories to create a modern and elegant look. - **Contemporary Tablescapes:** Encouraging consumers to create visually striking dinner table setups by pairing complementary accessories. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore introducing multipurpose and dual-use designs to appeal to modern consumers. - **Luxury Goods:** Marble, as a luxurious and elegant material, can be used in the design of high-end furniture and home accessories. - **Retail Industry:** Retailers can take advantage of the trend of contemporary tablescapes by selling complementary dinnerware and accessories in sets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-candle-holders.md) - [Vertical Tea-Light Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tolo-tea-candle.md) - [Interestingly Shaped Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-candle-holder.md) - [Warm Ambient Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflet.md) - [Architectural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder.md) - [Luxe Refillable Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-mondes-de-diptyque.md) - [Adorable Bee-Inspired Candlesticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeinspired-candlesticks.md) - [Sleek Metallic Incense Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-incense-holder.md) - [Ultra-Minimal Aroma Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trataka.md)
