# Octopus Will Keep You Cosy New Beanbag Design By Atelier Blink By Elit Alice | Published 2008-01-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octopus-beanbag-atelier-blink References: [elitalice](http://www.elitalice.com/2008/01/09/octopus-atelier-blink/) & [atelierblink](http://www.atelierblink.com/en/prodDesign.php?idSubsection=6) Have you ever thought about sitting on the lap of an octopus? No? Good. But just in case you ever do, there is a friendly and safe way to try it, without getting wet. The [Atelier BLINK studio](http://www.atelierblink.com/en/prodDesign.php?idSubsection=6) designed this suspicious looking.. thing. At first, it looks a bit fishy, but at the second glance, you can't resist its inviting arms and commodity. The bizarre look comes from the nature of a beanbag, that is made of recycled pairs of jeans. Of course, it's not a real octopus experience without the [suction cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-octopus), but maybe it's for the better this way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 7% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Recycled Materials:** Opportunity to disrupt industries by designing products using recycled materials. - **Alternative Furniture:** Opportunity to disrupt the furniture industry by introducing unique and unconventional designs. - **Sustainable Design:** Opportunity to disrupt industries by focusing on environmentally friendly design principles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Opportunity to disrupt the furniture industry with innovative and sustainable designs. - **Textiles:** Opportunity to disrupt the textile industry by utilizing recycled materials in product manufacturing. - **Sustainability:** Opportunity to disrupt various industries by embracing sustainable design practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creature-Like Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octopus-center-table.md) - [Transparent Bean Bag Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bean-bag.md) - [Pod-Inspired Bulbous Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-collection.md) - [Bohemian Bean Bag Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-x-clare-camarillo-bean-bag.md) - [Multi-Position Beanbag Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolve-chair.md) - [Sea Creature-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seat-urchin.md) - [Nature-Inspired Modular Pouf Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apego.md) - [Cookie-Themed Wearable Beanbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-cosy-cookie.md) - [Oversized Hollow Pillow Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floof-snuggle-sack-and-floor-pillow.md)
