Why do people go gaga over art inspired items?

Art is the source of magic in the material world. Art is what makes even the commonest thing look the most beautiful, therefore, it is likely that people have a fondness for art in general and anything that has rich elements of art in specific. Items of daily use and luxury items that we in the modern age use are mainly of the same mould that you would find in your neighbour’s house. In such a case, the only thing that makes you stand out is the incorporation of art. Do we all not know how tea-pot looks or what purpose does it serve, then what makes us buy a new tea-pot every now and then? Yes, it is either the design or the print or the unique motif it has got etched on its surface.  This viewpoint holds true for almost every art inspired item. You don’t just buy the item, you buy a piece of art with you that you get to show off. Let us see what are the aspects that make art inspired items stand out.

Innovation: Innovation always sells. Whenever you see any regular item in art inspired design or texture, it suddenly becomes innovative, something that probably the consumer’s imagination could never have mapped. Therefore, something like this also becomes a centre of attention for the visitors to your house.

Elegance: One can’t clearly explain this but it is true that anything that is art inspired, naturally comes across as elegant. When items of regular use get a similar form, they don’t just remain a utilitarian need but become collector’s choice and this consequence largely arises because of the sheer elegance art that the inspired items boast of.

Aesthetic sensibilities: Very often you’ll see that you get upset when you are out to buy a new sofa or a wardrobe because you don’t get what you want because the stuff you are planning to buy is not matching your aesthetic sensibility. We all have an aesthetic sensibility and they vary as per our tastes in each other. This aesthetic sensibility is only satisfied with distinction in the design of every item, and that distinction is achieved by what kind of art it has inspired from.

Personal touch: Art inspired items to speak of a different side in us to our friends or family. It is not necessary that you have to make something yourself to show an extension of your personality in that, even the reason that you have made a choice for that particular item is also reflective of who you are to the world around. This adds a ‘personal touch’ to the items you buy.

Mostly handmade: Art inspired items are usually handmade and you rarely get an exact copy of the same in the market. Even if you find the same design there will be a difference in some strokes or impressions on the surface. Handmade products always appeal to the consumer’s choice because they are unique. Even popular opinion rates handmade products higher than large-scale manufactured products by connoisseurs.
