It is a [modular rug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf) which you can piece together to form your very own [Persian rug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterpieces-ii). The product designer is Katrin Sonneleitner of Germany who came up with this 1225 piece mat made from a recyclable mixture of synthetic and natural rubber. This mat will do nicely outdoors on a patio or deck for those who wish to dress up their outdoor space. The rug is called Puzzleperser and was chosen by the [German Design Council](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-big-tamtam) for the d3 contest exhibition which was held in Cologne earlier this year. You will have to contact her for availability. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Modular Rugs:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in developing modular rug products using sustainable materials for outdoor spaces. - **DIY Home Decor:** There is an opportunity in developing DIY home decor products that offer a customizable and sustainable alternative to traditional home furnishings. - **Recyclable Design:** There is a disruptive opportunity in creating recyclable home decor products that are both functional and environmentally friendly. ### Where This Applies - **Home Furnishings:** The home furnishings industry can benefit from developing sustainable and customizable products that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Outdoor Living:** The outdoor living industry can benefit from developing modular and sustainable products that cater to consumers seeking to create a customized outdoor space. - **DIY Crafts:** The DIY crafts industry can benefit from developing sustainable and customizable home decor products that appeal to creative individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eye-Catching Designer Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-rug.md) - [Reversible Colorful Felt Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softblock-rug.md) - [Drought-Awareness Rug Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dryland-rug.md) - [Desert-Inspired Floor Coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-rug.md) - [Exquisite Textured Rug Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textured-rug.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md) - [Lifestyle-Themed Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quotidiana.md) - [Floral-Inspired Home Rug Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-garden.md) - [Liquified Persian Textile Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/say-touche.md)
