Her latest projects include 'Blanket Statement' and 'Bärenjäger.' These attention-grabbing [floor pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-colection) put a twist on the [contemporary bear skin rug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection). Lefebvre uses 100% [eco-friendly recycled wool blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wren) to fabricate these striking pieces. The carpets are shaped like olden-day bear skin rugs. She then models ceramic bear heads from scratch and hand paints each ferocious tooth. Lefebvre is a textile artist, product designer and teacher at Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Her pieces really put a modern day spin on outdated items. Bärenjäger (when translated means the bear hunter) and Blanket Statement are great pieces that are sure to cause a stir in any room. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Decor:** The trend towards using environmentally-friendly materials in home decor presents opportunities for the development of sustainably-sourced and recyclable products. - **Redefining Classics:** The trend of modernizing traditional decor items, like Lefebvre's bear skin rugs, creates opportunities for designers who can take old ideas and give them new life. - **Art-inspired Home Furnishings:** The trend of incorporating artistic elements and cultural references in home furnishings and decor creates opportunities for designers who can bring creativity and cultural significance to their products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sustainable Textiles:** As consumers demand more eco-friendly options, the textile industry has the opportunity to develop sustainable and green materials for home decor products. - **Handmade Ceramics:** The trend of handcrafted home decor provides opportunities for ceramic artists to create unique and personalized home furnishings. - **Art and Design Education:** As design continues to evolve, education institutions and programs have the opportunity to train the next generation of artists and designers who can create innovative and socially responsible products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eye-Catching Designer Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-rug.md) - [Young-Artist Graphic Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lineslineslines.md) - [70s-Inspired Plush Shag Rags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petra-rug-collection.md) - [Designer-Forward Blanket Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blanket-collections.md) - [Reimagined Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yves-salomon.md) - [Luxurious Handwoven Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-barrel.md) - [Fuzzy Modern Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-modern-chair.md) - [Artistic Gen Alpha Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moooi-carpets.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md)
