# Diver-Inspired Sculptures These Cardboard Sculptures Come from the Salt and Pepper Creative Team By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-10-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-sculptures References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/the-diving-bell-wearable-cardboard-diving-helmets/) & [saltandpeppercreative](http://saltandpeppercreative.com/) The imaginative team at [Salt and Pepper Creative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-hq) are behind these clever cardboard sculptures. 'The Diving Bell' project consists of cardboard headpieces that mimic old school diving gear. Essentially the idea behind these pieces is that they represent creative think-tanks. Designers are idea people, and they understand better than anyone what it's like to come up with new ideas on a daily basis. Wearing these cardboard sculptures represents the way that creative people tend to submerge themselves into their new ideas. In order to create something worth while, designers have to get their head in the game in terms of research and development. This crafty sculpture project may not help viewers breath underwater, but it will help them to better understand the way that creative people function on a daily basis. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cardboard Art:** The rise of cardboard art as a sustainable and accessible medium for creating innovative sculptures. - **Immersive Wearable Art:** The trend towards wearable, immersive art experiences that allow audiences to fully engage with the creative process. - **Inspired by Nature:** The trend towards creating art and design inspired by natural forms and processes, as seen in these diving-inspired sculptures. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore the potential of cardboard as a sustainable and versatile medium for creating innovative sculptures and installations. - **Fashion and Wearable Tech:** The fashion and wearable tech industry can invest in designs that integrate sustainable materials, giving way to hybrid art and wearables. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The marketing and advertising industry can leverage immersive art installations and techniques to create engaging brand experiences for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Submarine-Inspired Diving Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/periscope-mask.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Sculptural Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-public-seating.md) - [Intersecting Dimensional Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorama.md) - [Interactive Marine Ecosystem Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures.md) - [Junkyard-Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junkyard-diving.md)
