# Cozy Origami Blankets The 'Bloom' Cashmere Wool Blankets are Soft, Snug and Pleasing By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-03-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashmere-wool-blanket References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/78643492/bloom-blanket?ref=category) & [bloomblanket](http://bloomblanket.com/) '[Bloom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoon-sofa)' is a line of cashmere wool blankets inspired by shapes more commonly seen in origami paper creations. The blankets are the brainchild of [Barcelona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-alberts-barcelona-collection)-based designer Bianca Cheng Costanzo. Costanzo has been an avid origami enthusiast since childhood. While playing around with a tetrahedron-filled origami creation, she wondered if the same shape could be recreated using softer material. Soon, the Bloom blanket was born. The blanket consists of fluffy tetrahedron folds inspired by the tetrahedron shapes commonly seen in origami. It uses the [highest quality Italian wool cashmere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofia-cashmere) and no synthetic materials. The use of wool means that the blanket's tetrahedrons retain their shape without needing to be stuffed. This makes the blanket incredibly soft, fluffy and light. The blanket comes in white or gray, but can be customized with different colors and tetrahedron sizes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Origami-inspired Blankets:** The trend of origami-inspired blankets presents an opportunity for designers to create innovative and visually appealing bedding products. - **Cashmere Wool Materials:** The trend of using cashmere wool in blankets opens up opportunities for luxury brands to create premium and cozy bedding options. - **Customizable Tetrahedron Designs:** The trend of customizable tetrahedron designs in blankets offers an opportunity for personalization and uniqueness in bedding choices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Furnishings:** The home furnishings industry can explore origami-inspired blankets to offer customers innovative and stylish bedding options. - **Luxury Retail:** Luxury retailers can capitalize on the use of cashmere wool materials in blankets to provide high-end, luxurious bedding products. - **Customization Services:** Customization services can tap into the trend of customizable tetrahedron designs in blankets, offering personalized bedding solutions to customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Comfortable Home Blanket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windowpane-blanket.md) - [Fashion-Forward Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-blanket.md) - [Understated Ultra-Soft Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-blanket.md) - [Artist-Designed Wool Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eike-konig.md) - [Comfy Lambswool Throw Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lambswool-throw-blankets.md) - [Traditional Japanese Craftsmanship Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-blanket.md) - [Lightweight Waffle Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-waffle-blanket.md) - [Lavender-Scented Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-calm-cotton-set.md) - [Ultra-Cozy Large Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-blanket.md)
