The new capsule is a [tea set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-drinkware) that boasts artistic designs done by the illustrator. The small set is entitled Sundaayyyssss Teatime Set and it is the latest addition to the overarching URBINO series. As High Snobiety explains, "the set draws inspiration from Japanese tea culture and contemporary art." URBINO was originally created in 1931 by Trude Petri, and it is currently on permanent display in New York's MOMA. Every piece in the new Sundaayyyssss Teatime Set is created by hand by Marx himself in Berlin, so customers will have to wait up to two months for delivery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artist-designed Products:** There is an opportunity to disrupt traditional product design by collaborating with artists to create unique and personalized products. - **Handcrafted Products:** Handcrafting products provides an opportunity to prioritize quality over quantity and appeal to consumers who value unique products. - **Japanese-inspired Products:** Drawing inspiration from Japanese culture provides an opportunity to create distinctive and calming products that appeal to consumers' desires for relaxation and self-care. ### Who This Affects Most - **Product Design:** Collaborating with artists or offering handcrafted products could disrupt traditional product design and provide a competitive edge. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods can incorporate elements of Japanese culture or offer handcrafted products to cater to consumers' desire for unique and exclusive products. - **Home Decor:** Drawing inspiration from Japanese tea culture or incorporating handcrafted elements into home decor products could appeal to consumers seeking a relaxing and personalized home environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant Porcelain Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porcelain-tableware.md) - [Vibrantly Artful Graphic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-finkenauer.md) - [Playful Teapot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teapot-design1.md) - [Connected Communicative Tea Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gptea-set.md) - [Porcelain Dinnerware Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain.md) - [Opulent Floral Tea Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brew-to-a-tea.md) - [Handmade Kitchen Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-buco-vita-x-commune-design.md) - [Fashion House Teapot Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-teapots.md) - [Vibrantly Designed Tea Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-kettle-collective.md)
