# Toy Block Greenery The LEGO Greenhouse was Created for the 2011 London Design Festival By Leslie Chen | Published 2011-08-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-greenhouse References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/42203/) & [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/archives/024788.php) Created for the London Design Festival of 2011, this [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-icons-tiny-plants) Greenhouse was made out of the building blocks from your childhood. The toy company commissioned designer Sebastian Bergne to make this LEGO Greenhouse completely out of the brick blocks. Even the soil in the greenhouse is made out of LEGO. The most important part of the greenhouse, the greenery, is real though. With so many different [LEGO creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-exhibition) coming out each day, the LEGO Greenhouse is definitely the greenest of them all. **Implications** - Consumers are looking for all kinds of ways to adopt a greener lifestyle. Products that promote a more sustainable way of living appeal to those who don’t have time to dedicate to an environmentally friendly organization. Integrating practical items with eco-friendly ones could help a company increase its appeal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Toy Design:** The trend towards eco-friendly toy design could create opportunities for toy manufacturers to capitalize on consumer interest in sustainability. - **Green Architecture:** As consumers become more environmentally aware, there is a growing trend towards integrating green design principles into architecture and home decor. - **LEGO Hacking:** As LEGO continues to inspire creativity, we can expect to see more designers using these iconic blocks to create unconventional structures and designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers may benefit from incorporating sustainable design principles in their products, attracting eco-conscious consumers. - **Architecture & Interior Design:** Architects and interior designers could explore using LEGO blocks to create unique, eco-friendly structures, as demonstrated by the LEGO Greenhouse. - **DIY Hacking & Upcycling:** LEGO hacking could inspire a new trend of DIY enthusiasts using these blocks to create unique and sustainable designs in various industries from furniture to fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Building Block Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-icons-tiny-plants.md) - [Food-Based Toy Block Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-6.md) - [Botanical Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-orchid.md) - [Cork Bottle Terrarium Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-terrarium.md) - [Floral Building Block Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanicals-creativity-workshop.md) - [Building Block Tiny Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tiny-house.md) - [Botanical Garden Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanical-garden-set.md) - [Personable Botanical-Themed Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-plants.md) - [Bonsai Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-botanicals-set.md)
