The 'Knit by Curver' collection adds a high-quality look to plastic, with braided pieces woven in and out of each other. This collection encourages consumers who would normally purchase something like a wood or [wicker woven basket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculpture) to move to these similar designs that additionally come in bright styles. 'Knit' includes a wide variety of items like laundry hampers, plant containers and even shopping bags. The durable material is strong and flexible and comes in an array of colors like bright green, blue or white. These 3D knit designs employ a 3D printing method referred to as deep-texture injection, which was first inspired by rattan-style outdoor furniture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3D Printing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the manufacturing industry by utilizing 3D printing technology for intricate designs. - **Plastic Decor:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the home decor industry by using printed plastic to create high-quality and visually appealing designs. - **Deep-texture Injection:** Chance for disruptive innovation in the design and manufacturing sectors by incorporating deep-texture injection techniques to produce unique and intricate patterns. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the manufacturing industry by leveraging 3D printing technology to create intricate and flexible plastic products. - **Home Decor:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the home decor industry by introducing high-quality, 3D knit plastic designs as alternative options to traditional materials like wood or wicker. - **Design:** Chance for disruptive innovation in the design industry by adopting deep-texture injection techniques to create visually stunning and intricate patterns on various products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architectural-Focused 3D-Knitted Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infiknit.md) - [3D-Knitted Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-knitting1.md) - [Playful Outdoor Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-new-raw-1.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Organic Plastic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafting-plastic-collection.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [3D-Woven Textile Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coastal-breeze-collection.md) - [3D-Printed Recycled Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loom-furniture-collection.md) - [3D Printed Décor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-flamtrad.md)
