# Beastly Porcelain Tableware White Animal Life by Emilie Kröner is Wildly Quirky and Tasteful By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-animal-life References: [thecoolhunter.net](http://www.thecoolhunter.net/article/detail/2137) & [piselliprojects](http://piselliprojects.com/) While some may like their meals to be as refined and proper as possible, the [White Animal Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-modular-house-1) (WAL) tableware will bring out the wild side in any diner. It is a set of table accessories modeled after 17th and 18th century animals often used as decorations on tureens. Instead of being part of the pattern, these animals have become the dishes themselves. For instance, there is a [flamingo carafe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection) and leopard napkin holders. Designed by Amsterdam-based interior designer Emilie Kröner, who recently founded Piselli Projects, the White Animal Life tableware is her debut collection. Gaining notoriety at this year's New York and Milan Design Weeks, her sense of taste and humor is captured beautifully in the White Animal Life collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 25% | 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 - **Animal-inspired Tableware:** Designing tableware with animal motifs that doubles up as unique home decor. - **Humorous Dining Accesories:** Creating whimsical tableware that evoke laughter and joy amongst diners. - **Refining Classic Decor:** Revamping traditional decor with quirky and unconventional designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Goods:** Collaborating with designers to create unusual and innovative dining and home goods. - **Premium Kitchenware:** Introducing unique and luxurious tableware as premium kitchenware. - **Interior Design:** Creating home decor and interior design products that incorporate humor and whimsy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrantly Designed Playful Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hem.md) - [Minimal Ceramic Tableware Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zuma-tableware.md) - [Playful Tableware Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-dining-experience.md) - [Anthropomorphized Pet Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-bowl-table.md) - [Elegant Porcelain Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porcelain-tableware.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Porcelain Dinnerware Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain.md) - [French Fashion House Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-tressages-questres-tableware-collection.md) - [Luxurious Debut Tableware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-collection-1.md)
