This [fun and playful art exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play) held at the SHFT Copenhagen Shop makes me wish I could have been there to check this amazing [handmade kites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-inflatables) in person. Created by RCA graduate and illustrator Daniel Frost, The Big Kite Show seems to focus not only on kites, but also on [quirky characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) as kites. From cloud-riding men to parasailing triplets, Frost's kites prove that his imagination definitely reaches beyond the stars.
