# Feather Tapestry Artworks One Duck by Monique Habraken is Beautifully Romantic By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-18 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-duck References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1670041/duck-feather-tapestry-captures-romance-that-taxidermy-doesn-t) & [moniquehabraken](http://moniquehabraken.com/index.php?/projects/coming-soon-feathers-/) The One Duck tapestry is beautiful to behold for more reasons than one. Not only is it a unique piece of artwork that treats [rich feathers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers) almost like paint or fabric, it is the immortalization of a possible love story. The artist behind the flighty canvas says, "I found a [duck couple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-duck-dumplings), along the road, in spring, they were probably flying after each other and got hit by a car in the heat of the moment." Created by Monique Habraken, who is based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, the One Duck tapestry is a big step ahead of [taxidermy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heir-and-a-spare). Much more abstract, it uses every single feather belonging to the ducks. While people often admire and even glorify a single stunning feather, this artwork shows that every part of a duck is beautiful. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Feather Art:** Utilizing feathers as a medium for artistic expression opens up new possibilities for unique and visually stunning artworks. - **Alternative Taxidermy:** The One Duck tapestry represents a shift away from traditional taxidermy methods, offering a more abstract and ethically conscious approach to preserving animal remains. - **Romantic Inspirations:** Artists like Monique Habraken are finding inspiration in love stories and using their creations to immortalize these narratives through their artwork. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** The feather tapestry art trend presents opportunities for artists and designers to explore new techniques and materials in their creations. - **Ethical Home Decor:** The unique and visually striking One Duck tapestry opens up a niche market for ethically sourced and sustainable home decor products. - **Storytelling Merchandise:** The romantic inspiration behind Monique Habraken's tapestry art opens opportunities for creating merchandise that tells visual stories and resonates with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handwoven Colorful Tapestries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versus-edition-one.md) - [Graphic Motif Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-jacquard.md) - [Duck Down-Filled Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-duckhead.md) - [Hatching Duck Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mama-duck-surprise.md) - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Toy-Like Duck-Inspired Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducky-thermometer.md) - [Pigeon-Inspired Artful Clutch Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pigeon-clutch-bag.md) - [Pride-Honoring Bird Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-birds.md) - [Vibrant Bird-Inspired Artful Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macar-parrot.md)
