Funky Outdoor Decor

Garden Gnomes with Street Cred

— January 8, 2009 — Art & Design
Modernize your garden with these rapping and reclining garden dwarfs. The German design factory Barthelmess developed two styles of garden dwarfs that are far hipper than your average outdoor decor. These polystyrene dwarfs are available in white, green, pink, or blue and feature sweet shades and relaxed poses to further establish their street cred.

Implications - Quirky products like these playfully send up hip hop culture in order to entice consumers who have an eye for mischievous creations to spruce up their home. Any time a company offers its customers the opportunity to make their world a bit more enjoyable, it is also giving itself the opportunity to be rewarded for its creativity.

2. Playful Home Accessories - Designing mischievous and quirky home decor pieces, such as reclining garden dwarfs, can attract consumers who want to add a sense of humor and fun to their living spaces.
3. Cultural References in Design - Incorporating elements of popular culture, like hip hop, into garden decor items can capture the attention of customers who appreciate unconventional and creative products.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry could benefit from offering unconventional and unique outdoor decor items like rapping and reclining garden dwarfs to cater to customers seeking playful and trendy accessories for their homes.
2. Gardening and Landscaping - The gardening and landscaping industry can tap into the market demand for hip and unconventional outdoor decor by incorporating products like street-inspired garden dwarfs to appeal to urban and trendy garden enthusiasts.
