# Battle-Ready Cushions Bryan Ku Gets You Ready for an Epic Pillow Fight By Matt Ho | Published 2011-11-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryan-ku References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/kids/best-sleepover-ever-pillow-fight-weapons/) & [bryanku](http://www.bryanku.com/#1856316/Pillow-Fight) Bryan Ku understands how fun pillow fights are done, so he decided to create cushions in the form of weapons just to make things a little more realistic. Each cushion in Bryan Ku’s miniature series features a few familiar tools you need to be ready in a last man standing free-for-all. For close range combat, fighters can choose a battle ax, a sword, nun chucks and even a lightsaber for the sci-fi enthusiasts out there. In terms of long distance weapons, Ku is bringing the standard, but classic ninja stars and a grenade to hurl at oncoming opponents. The next time there’s going to be a pillow fight involved, these cushions will definitely do the trick. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Weaponized Pillows:** Creating cushions in the form of weapons for realistic pillow fights. - **Miniature Battle Gear:** Designing miniature battle tools for close and long-range combat. - **Nostalgic Fun:** Incorporating familiar tools into playful activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Introducing new and innovative toy products that explore unchartered territories. - **Home Goods:** Designing creative and multipurpose home decor items that offer a unique experience. - **Sports and Outdoor Recreation:** Offering customers an adventurous spin on everyday activities through creative recreational products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Defence Tubular Inflatable Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-seat.md) - [Supportive Gamer Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/large-cushion-table-bht700c.md) - [Life-Sized Meat Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-pillow.md) - [Anime-Inspired Vehicle Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frieza-pod-cushion.md) - [Multipurpose Children's Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-cubes.md) - [Oversized Hollow Pillow Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floof-snuggle-sack-and-floor-pillow.md) - [Infrared Heated Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushi.md) - [Weighted Knot Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hugget.md) - [Anime Creature-Inspired Cushion Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-creatureinspired-cushion-bed.md)
