# Pom-Pom Carpets The Bommel Collection by Myk Features a Quirky Bear Skin Rug By Meghan Young | Published 2012-03-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bommel-collection-by-myk References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/006317.html) & [myk-berlin](http://myk-berlin.com/) Animal activists will be thrilled when they lay eyes on the Bommel collection by Myk. This carpet collection features a unique [bear skin rug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection) that has not been crafted from an actual bear. In fact, it doesn't even look like a realistic faux skin rug. Instead, it has been made using a pom-pom technique. All the [carpets in the Bommel collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanimarquina) by Myk boast the same technique, hence its name, which is the German word for pom-pom. A fun and playful addition to any home, the Bommel collection by Myk is made entirely by hand. To create these carpets, hundreds of carefully selected, [high-quality wool threads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hare-klein) are bundled, rolled, tied and cut. The nearly 1,300 wool pom-poms are used for each rug, which can end up weighing up to 45 kilograms. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 65% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fake Animal Carpets:** The demand for cruelty-free and sustainable home décor options is on the rise, creating an opportunity for manufacturers to create animal-inspired carpets using non-animal based materials. - **Handmade Home Decor:** The market for unique and artisanal home décor pieces is growing, making way for handmade carpet collections like the Bommel collection by Myk to gain popularity. - **Pom-pom Technique:** The use of pom-pom technique in home décor is gaining popularity in the market as it offers a whimsical and playful touch to interiors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor Industry:** The home décor industry can explore the growing demand for cruelty-free and artisanal carpets collections in the market like the Bommel collection by Myk. - **Textile Industry:** Manufacturers in the textile industry can leverage the growing popularity of the pom-pom technique in home décor to create innovative and quirky carpet collections. - **Handmade Goods Industry:** The handmade goods industry can tap into the trend of the market by offering unique and artisanal carpet collections like the Bommel collection by Myk that can cater to the growing demand for handmade home décor pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Young-Artist Graphic Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lineslineslines.md) - [70s-Inspired Plush Shag Rags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petra-rug-collection.md) - [Intricate Mascot-Honoring Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-of-mint.md) - [Pop Culture-Themed Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-world.md) - [Luxurious Handwoven Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-barrel.md) - [Luxe Tiger Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-emotions-3.md) - [Cross-Cultural Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordic-knots-x-giancarlo-valle-rug-collection.md) - [Dynamic Flatwoven Carpet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-colection.md) - [Artful Versatile Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanimarquina.md)
