The Million Donkey Hotel in Prata Sannita, Italy is based on a community project to link to [small villages together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borgo-dei-conti-resort) while only using unused constructions. The most fascinating aspect of this hotel, however, is the single twin bed that hangs outside of the building.

The [caged-in bed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoshino-resort), which is not meant for anyone who is scared of heights, has an amazing view of the Italian country side and lets you enjoy the solitude.

**Implications** - Cages were once considered to be used for animals and criminals only, and yet their use continues to pop up in multiple scenarios. Caged fashions and restricting looks are embraced by consumers are a deviation away from the abundance of carefree clothing and other products.
