# Intergalactic Novelty Appliances This Darth Vader Stove is a Custom-Made Star Wars Masterpiece By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novelty-appliances References: [dudeiwantthat](http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/gear/novelty/darth-vader-stove.asp) & [kemkersspeciaalbouw.nl](http://www.kemkersspeciaalbouw.nl/) In order to showcase its talent for building novelty appliances, Dutch custom appliance-maker 'Kemkers speciaalbouw' created an impressively accurate [Star Wars-themed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2) Darth Vader stove. The hooded black [wood-burning stove](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodburning-appliance) looks terrifying, but would probably make a mean pizza. The Darth Vader stove is being raffled off on the Kemkers speciaalbouw [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-verified) page. Hopeful owners need only like and share the post for a chance to win the intergalactic cooking device. The menacing black stove joins other novelty appliances in the Kemkers speciaalbouw repertoire, like a hilarious stove shaped like one of the Minions from Despicable Me. The company's motto is "You dream it. We build it," so presumably a customer could request a My Little Pony or Spongebob Squarepants stove and have it custom-made, if that was a big dream of theirs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Custom Novelty Appliances:** Creating custom-made novelty appliances like the Darth Vader stove has the potential to attract a niche market of fans and collectors. - **Social Media Marketing:** Using social media platforms like Facebook as a promotional tool to raffle off unique appliances can increase brand awareness and engagement. - **Personalized Products:** Offering custom-made appliances based on customer requests can provide a disruptive innovation opportunity for the appliance industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Appliance Manufacturing:** Companies specializing in producing custom novel appliances can differentiate themselves in the appliance manufacturing industry. - **Social Media Advertising:** Advertising products through social media platforms can potentially disrupt traditional advertising methods. - **Custom Manufacturing:** Companies offering personalized products can differentiate themselves in various industries, including the appliance industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hand-Knit Sci-Fi Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handknit-scifi-sculpture.md) - [Batman-Themed Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-small-kitchen-appliance-design.md) - [Gas-Powered Toaster Oven Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-nook.md) - [Stovetop-Friendly Oven Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-oven-concept.md) - [Stainless Steel Modular Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-stainlesssteel.md) - [Vintage-Style Gas Cooktops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-piano-hob.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Elevated Home Cooking Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claypot-oven.md) - [Air Sous Vide Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-nx9100d-bespoke-gas-range.md)
