# Drug-Inspired Drink Coasters The Night You Left by Nir Nod is Covered in White Powder By Cody Turner | Published 2012-09-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-night-you-left-by-nir-nod References: [secure.paulkasmingallery](https://secure.paulkasmingallery.com/shop/nir-hod_and34the-night-you-leftand34-mirrored-coasters) The PK Shop (Paul Kasmin Shop) is releasing a new collection of mirrored coasters entitled 'The Night You Left' by Nir Hod. These four acrylic coasters are each lined with digitally printed white powder and were inspired by a collection of [oil on mirror paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors) by Nir Hod. The Night You Left coasters aim to capture the ephemeral and heightened state that comes from [excessive partying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54) where drugs are involved. But it also is meant to embody the pain and loneliness that comes from drug abuse. “There is a certain magic in loneliness,” Hod explains, “It’s not about drugs or glamour—it’s about the inside world, where you can dream and love and seek a greater truth." The mirrored coasters are set to be released on September 13 at the PK Shop, but I feel that it would be hard to explain to your guests why it is you left out all your drugs on your coasters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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's Driving This Trend - **Mirrored Coasters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop mirrored coasters with unique designs or patterns to create an elevated drinking experience. - **Digitally Printed White Powder:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of digitally printed white powder in various products beyond coasters, such as artwork or home decor items. - **Inside World Inspiration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products that tap into the concept of the inside world and offer a transformative experience to users, such as immersive storytelling or virtual reality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine art and functionality to create unique home decor items that evoke emotions and provoke thought. - **Artwork:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate unconventional materials or techniques into artwork to create provocative and impactful pieces. - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate immersive experiences or interactive elements in hospitality settings to offer guests a memorable and transformative stay. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Barbie-Inspired Coaster Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbieinspired-coaster-set.md) - [Astrological Drinkware Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zodiac-constellation-coasters.md) - [Warm-Toned Marble Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusine-coasters.md) - [Psychedelic Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia.md) - [Artist-Designed Collectible Dining Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-napkins.md) - [Graphic Colorful Joint Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richard-prince.md) - [Artful Ethereal Iridescent Resin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest.md) - [Crystalline Gem-Like Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-coffee-tables.md) - [Frosted Light Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-collection-1.md)
