They are designed by Noah Scalin and are a part of his amazing ‘Skull-A-Day’ project, wherein he basically created a different type of skull every day for a whole year. What a cool project--to read more about it, check out the Cardboard Taxidermy article below. I would love to get my hands on his new book "Skulls," which documents this fascinating task. These brilliant [puzzle skulls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossils-triceratops-skull) are comprised of 100% [recycled cardboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/addams-family-lego) and are designed in a neat limited edition of 500. Each skull comes signed and numbered if you wish to invest in a piece of decorative designer art. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Recycled Decor:** Opportunity for businesses to create unique, eco-friendly home decor using recycled materials. - **Limited Edition:** Disruptive innovation potential for companies to create limited edition products that generate excitement and exclusivity among consumers. - **Artistic Projects:** Emerging trend of artists and designers undertaking ambitious daily creative challenges, opening up opportunities for collaborations and product development. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Innovative companies could explore using recycled materials to create unique and sustainable home decor products. - **Publishing:** Publishers and authors could tap into the market for unique art books that document and showcase ambitious artistic projects like Noah Scalin's 'Skull-A-Day' project. - **Art Supplies:** Companies could cater to the needs of artists and designers undertaking daily creative challenges by offering specialized art supplies and materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anatomical Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-skull-with-hidden-organs.md) - [Intricate Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intricate-jigsaw-puzzle.md) - [Tetrahedral Desk Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-puzzles.md) - [Frameable Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frameable-jigsaw-puzzle.md) - [Dinosaur Fossil Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dinosaur-fossils-trex-skull.md) - [Social Good Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/derrick-adams-x-dreamyard.md) - [Milled Three-Dimensional Puzzle Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-bodies.md) - [Christmas Puzzle Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/130-piece-puzzle-ornaments.md) - [Computer Generated Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baffling-bubbles.md)
