Bembury has made a name for himself in the realm of [sneakers and streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prosperity-be-the-prize) and this time around, the center of the new designs are cushions. Each cushion is woven by hand to create a tufted surface and has patterning that creates organic shapes in bright hues. Founder of the studio, Alex Proba states that “We joined forces last year and created a [handwoven pillow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haven-5) paired with Salehe’s signature pattern and Studio Proba’s signature shapes. It’s a perfect blend of both worlds and we hope to be able to connect our communities and do more of that kind of collaboration in the future.” Image Credit: Ariel Palanzone ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Handwoven Homeware:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to collaborate in creating unique and handmade homeware products. - **Bright Colored Homeware:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to experiment with bold and bright colors in creating homeware products. - **Tufted Surfaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to incorporate texture and dimension through tufted surfaces in creating homeware products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Homeware:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for companies in the homeware industry to incorporate more handwoven, bright colored and tufted surface products in their collections. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for companies in the fashion industry to collaborate with homeware designers to create new lines of complementary accessories and products inspired by these designs. - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for companies in the art industry to create unique and texturized art pieces using techniques from homeware tufting and weaving. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maximalist Collaborative Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studioproba.md) - [Bold Sculptural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spunge-osmosis.md) - [Collaborative Bold Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-and-salehe.md) - [Graphic Patterned Artful Homeware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-paste.md) - [Cityscape-Inspired Artful Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambar.md) - [Colorful Textile Pet Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/probapaws.md) - [VIbrant Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colors-be-the-palette.md) - [Dynamic Vibrant Sneaker Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prosperity-be-the-prize.md) - [Creatively Abstract Homeware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rixo-1.md)
