I am particularly fond of the idea that your real candle drips can add to those of the fake candle wax. This is a piece of artistic china which you can add to and watch grow over time. These are designed by British / Japanese designer Reiko Kaneko. His other works are similarly inspired by 'real' effects. He has also created [plates that appear to be cracked](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita) and made cups marked with fake lipstick. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Faux Wax Replicas:** Opportunity to create realistic-looking wax replicas for various industries, such as home decor and fashion accessories. - **Simulated Effects:** Potential for incorporating simulated effects in various product designs, enhancing their aesthetic appeal. - **Artistic China Decor:** Growing market for artistic china pieces that evolve and collect unique visual elements over time. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to offer candles and other home decor items with faux wax replicas, providing a unique and long-lasting visual appeal. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity to incorporate faux wax replicas in jewelry and fashion accessories, adding an artistic touch and visual interest. - **Tableware and Dinnerware:** Potential for creating plates and cups with simulated effects, offering a visually striking dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Wax Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-solids-1.md) - [Exquisite Time Lapse Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xl-porcelain-candles.md) - [Warm Ambient Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflet.md) - [Luxurious Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-candle-holders.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md) - [Unusual Limited-Edition Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bloom-candle.md) - [Luxe Refillable Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-mondes-de-diptyque.md) - [Food-Inspired Novelty Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-savage.md)
