# Corporeal Comfort Stem Holders The Vase CoolWater Takes a Heartwarming Household Form By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-03-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vase-coolwater References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2012/02/Porcelain-vase-as-hot-water-bottle-for-wall-hanging.html) & [en.dawanda](http://en.dawanda.com/product/13819062-Porzellan-Vase-Coolwater-Haengevase-Waermflasche) A vase is simply a vessel for displaying [floral arrangements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navazi). It needs only take a basic form, inspiring the imagination of objects like the Vase CoolWater. Expectedly, the container is deep and narrow enough to clutch a bunch of flower stems but its shape and orientation are remarkably different to what you might usually see. Instead of assuming the type of an unadorned flask or an intricately decorated carafe, Anne Wolf’s item acts as an [iconic sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-vase) all on its own, executed as a realistic representation of a hot water bottle. Made by Silicium, the Vase CoolWater may not keep your toes toasty beneath the sheets, but it does add warmth and charm to your living space. Modeled from a [heavy unpainted porcelain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project) and complete with faux rubber textures, this stemholder surprises its user once more with its horizontal positioning. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 27% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sculptural Vase Trend:** Creating vases that double as unique sculptures provides a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home decor industry. - **Realistic Representation Trend:** Designing products with realistic representations of everyday objects offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the artistic home decor market. - **Horizontal Stemholder Trend:** Developing stemholders with horizontal positioning presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for innovating traditional floral arrangements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor Industry:** Creating sculptural vases that add warmth and charm to living spaces offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for home decor companies. - **Artistic Home Decor Market:** Designing products with realistic representations of everyday objects presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the artistic home decor market. - **Floral Arrangement Industry:** Developing stemholders with horizontal positioning presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the floral arrangement industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Personalized Floral Grid Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-vase.md) - [Ocean-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-coralshaped-vase.md) - [Playful Packaging-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-milk-vase.md) - [Greenery-Inspired Textured Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-textured-ceramic-vase.md) - [Dual-Purpose Vintage-Inspired Home Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-home-object.md) - [Jewelry-Holding Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-vase-stand.md) - [Chandelier-Shaped Self-Watering Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfwatering-vase.md) - [Copper Tubular Minimal Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiroyuki-yuasa.md)
