For some (namely clean freaks and people with allergies), dust can be the most annoying thing in the world. Here are 20 unique dust innovations that might make you change your mind about dust. From tanning lotion with $24K gold dust to dollhouses made of dust, this collection will provide a different outlook on what was once hated so much.
Implications - The longevity of this trend is limited only to the ingenuity of the companies that seek to take advantage of it. Consumers, contrary to popular belief, are surprisingly receptive to products that reinvent the way they perceive the world around them. By finding new ways to reinterpret something as fundamental as dust, creative minds have the real potential to fascinate and entice a huge new market of clients.
