# Colorful Shell Cushions Vacu Vin Egg Cushions Introduce a More Doughy Sort of Dish By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-08-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacu-vin-egg-cushions References: [7gadgets](http://www.7gadgets.com/2011/08/29/vacu-vin-egg-pillows/40534) & [vacuvin.nl](http://www.vacuvin.nl/Egg_Pilllow_286_1109_269.html) The items in your kitchen intended to contain and dispense food are overwhelmingly hard to the touch, and it's unusual to find tableware quite like these Vacu Vin Egg Cushions. Your [breakfast hard-boiled egg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gym-kitchen-hard-boiled-eggs) is given a soft place to perch with these delectable colored cushions. Unlike the [standard eggcup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-scrambled-eggs) which insists that one size fits all, this product recognizes that no two eggs are exactly alike. There is no explicit edge to hold the protein-rich treat in place, but its own sleight weight creates a cradling divot in the stuffing below. These adorable [tabletop accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nami) bring fun to the table for egg lovers of all ages. It's worth noting too that Vacu Vin Egg Cushions are washing-machine safe to remedy any runny yolk situations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Soft Tableware:** The trend of soft tableware is disrupting the traditional hard-edged tableware market. - **Tailored Kitchen Accessories:** The trend of kitchen accessories that cater to specific foods or ingredients is creating opportunities for innovation. - **Apparel-inspired Home Decor:** The trend of home decor inspired by apparel, like these cushion shells, is opening up possibilities for cross-industry collaboration. ### Who This Affects Most - **Kitchenware:** The kitchenware industry is ripe for innovation in creating soft, tailored, and food-specific accessories. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can integrate apparel-inspired designs into their products for a fresh and playful approach. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore expanding their product line into home decor with fun and fashion-inspired designs, like these cushion shells. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [User-Friendly Egg Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggbath.md) - [Lifelike Egg Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-candles-1.md) - [Minimalist Experimental Egg Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-egg-racks.md) - [Egg-Shaped Meditation Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donha-egg.md) - [Versatile Sous-Vide Egg Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egglands-best-sous-vide-egg-rounds.md) - [Liquid-Filled Easter Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bebeto-easter-candies.md) - [Durable Egg Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-packaging1.md) - [Easter-Themed Kitchen Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easterthemed-kitchen.md) - [Chocolate Yolk Easter Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dippy-egg-filled-hot-cross-buns.md)
