Love & Hate is a [set of weapons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ferro-capsule), a glock, a grenade and brass knuckles, that were created entirely out of Merino wool. According to Fahrion, [sculpting using Merino wool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear) is a very tedious process, with little margin for error. One person's pain is another person's pleasure as the hot-pink weapons of Love & Hate truly are truly a sight to see. If you are in the market for pink weapons, Fahrion has put a price tag of $1,200 on this set of woolly pieces. If you don't happen to have an extra $1,200 lying around, you can always check out Love & Hate from Nifer Fahrion for free here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sculpting with Wool:** The use of Merino wool as a sculpting material presents opportunities for innovative and visually appealing artwork. - **Fabric-based Weaponry:** Creating weapons entirely out of fabric introduces a unique concept that challenges traditional materials used in weaponry. - **High-end Textile Art:** The incorporation of expensive materials like Merino wool in art pieces paves the way for high-end textile art with a luxurious appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the trend of sculpting with wool to explore new artistic forms and materials. - **Defense and Security:** The defense and security industry can explore the concept of fabric-based weaponry as a potential alternative or supplement to traditional materials. - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can tap into the demand for high-end textile art, offering exclusive and expensive pieces made from premium materials like Merino wool. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Queer Wool Runway Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-wool-survive.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Juxtaposed Materials Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-diaries-collection.md) - [Wool-Centric Contemporary Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oltre-terra-exhibition.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Artist-Designed Wool Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eike-konig.md) - [Sheep Fleece Fiberglass-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welsh-mountain-hembury-chair.md) - [Reversible Colorful Felt Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softblock-rug.md) - [Wool-Weaving Cobots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flocks-wobot.md)
