Anthropologie's 'Hot New Homeware' Trend: Expensive Garden Rocks

Anthropologie has sparked a trend with their 'hot new homeware', featuring handcrafted stone objects. The 'Ōamaru Egg', a limestone ornament, is one such piece, inspired by the unique geology of Ōamaru, New Zealand. Meanwhile, pranksters are having a laugh, claiming to have bought expensive 'Anthropologie rocks' from their garden.

The 'Ōamaru Egg' is a handcrafted limestone ornament, designed to tell its own story. It's inspired by the meditative art of stacking stones, as seen in Kristina Dam's rock pile sculptures. The egg's creator and manufacturer are not specified, but it could be a local artwork or attraction in Ōamaru, known for its stunning stone art and high-quality limestone from its flat Whitestone quarries.

Anthropologie has humorously embraced this trend, styling tables with these 'hot new homeware' items in their stores. A viral video shows a girl pranking her partner by claiming to have bought an expensive 'Anthropologie rock' from their garden. Other retailers are also capitalizing on this trend. West Elm offers a marble paperweight in various stone colors, while Ferm Living provides a rock-inspired wall hook that can also be used as a decorative bowl.
