The company created [ceramic skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stevie-williams1), each decorated with extraordinary and complex detailing. The designs were [hand painted and silk screened](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handpainted-ceramic-collections) for a luxuriously smooth finish, with daring designs that include a giant squid, peacocks, and floral patterns. As cool the VALLISON collection by Material looks, I don't think you would be able to ride the pieces very well. Regardless, this superb [ceramic set of skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-through-skateboarding) is truly awesome. Check out the the stellar VALLISON collection for yourself in the gallery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ceramic Artwork:** Opportunity for artists to explore the use of ceramic as a medium in various art forms. - **Luxurious Finishes:** Potential for high-end products in different industries to incorporate silk-screened and hand-painted designs for a premium aesthetic. - **Unique Collectibles:** Growing market for collectible items that feature extraordinary and complex detailing, appealing to niche audiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can leverage the trend of ceramic artwork to create unique and visually stunning pieces. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Fashion brands can explore incorporating luxurious finishes, such as silk-screened designs, into their products to elevate their offerings. - **Collectibles and Memorabilia:** Collectible brands can tap into the market for unique, one-of-a-kind items with extraordinary detailing to cater to avid collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Psychedelic Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia.md) - [Skateable Cardboard Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-chaos.md) - [Cardboard-Inspired Ceramic Household Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-collection.md) - [Blue Silkscreen Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kai-and-sunny-1.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Stamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-inspired-stamp-collection.md) - [Recycled Material Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lander-skateboard.md) - [Artful Skateboard Deck Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraftwerk-collection.md) - [Pop Art Skateboard Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-skateroom-1.md) - [Artist-Collaborated Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impala-hera-cruiser.md)
