# Lunar Footprint Rugs Permafrost Studio's Giant Leap Rug Celebrates the First Ever Moon Walk By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-07-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-leap References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/07/21/3-whimsical-rugs-from-permafrost-studio/) & [permafrost.no](http://permafrost.no/projects/giant_leap) Inspired by the anniversary of the moon landing, Permafrost Studio created the 'Giant Leap' rug. The sooty black rug is round in shape and it permanently has marks on it that make it look like the dark surface of the moon has been imprinted forever with footprints from a pair of space boots. The Permafrost Studio rug design is a fun way to show your interest in space, although it's just abstract enough to just look like a novel design. With the passing of the 45th anniversary of the first moon landing, this is a fun way to recreate your own moon walk at home, since it will definitely be a couple more years before the average non-astronaut gets to make their mark in outer space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 28% | 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Space-inspired Home Decor:** Creating home decor items inspired by space exploration is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home goods industry. - **Anniversary-inspired Products:** Designing products inspired by significant anniversaries is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the retail industry. - **Moon-themed Fashion:** Designing clothing and accessories inspired by the moon and space exploration is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. ### Where This Applies - **Home Goods:** Incorporating space-inspired designs into home goods such as rugs, pillows, and wall art is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home goods industry. - **Retail:** Creating anniversary-inspired products such as the 'Giant Leap' rug is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the retail industry. - **Fashion:** Designing moon-themed clothing and accessories is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Desert-Inspired Floor Coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-rug.md) - [Eye-Catching Designer Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-rug.md) - [Pop Culture-Themed Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-world.md) - [Customized Film-Inspired Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugriders.md) - [Drought-Awareness Rug Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dryland-rug.md) - [Space Travel-Honoring Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rumpl-x-nasa-original-puffy-blanket.md) - [Season-Inspired Rug Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-rug-range.md) - [Carbon-Negative Area Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-negative-area-rug.md) - [Textured Moon-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-phase-lamp.md)
