It was inspired by the wooly mammoth. Well, some of the pieces are. In general, the designs take on a different ancient animalistic aesthetic, whether it is mammalian or reptilian. Yet that doesn't mean there is a dated feel to them. Instead, the line is exotic and timeless in spite of their singular appeal. Whether it is shiny brass and hexagonal shapes or [sheepskin seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fasettis-autumn-2024) and carved horns, the Haas Brothers’ 2013 Furniture Collection is sophisticated and rich. Recently represented at Design Miami/Basel, the various textures, materials and forms lent themselves to an unsettling but intriguing experience. The brothers even paid tribute to their father's stone-carving skills with a few pottery items. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 52% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Animalistic Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of unique animal-inspired designs in various industries, such as home decor and fashion, to create bold and captivating products. - **Exotic Textures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with incorporating diverse and unusual textures into products and materials within industries like interior design and automotive to create sensory-rich experiences. - **Mixed Material Combinations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine unexpected materials, like brass and sheepskin, in industries such as furniture design and accessories to create distinctive and luxurious products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine traditional home decor by incorporating unique animal-inspired designs and textures into furniture, accessories, and textiles. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce animalistic aesthetics and exotic textures into clothing and accessory designs to create standout fashion pieces that embrace nature-inspired themes. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate mixed material combinations, like brass and sheepskin, in furniture and decor elements to add a touch of luxury and novelty to interior design projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Juxtaposed Materials Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-diaries-collection.md) - [Reimagined Monolithic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossil-furniture.md) - [Charming Time Period-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-i.md) - [Textured Modern Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-collections.md) - [70s-Inspired Structural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-12.md) - [Organic Ancient Design Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-to-people-furniture-collection.md) - [Fantasy Sculptural Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chris-wolston.md) - [Reimagined Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yves-salomon.md) - [Unique Burl-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/don-heston-studio.md)
