The One Eye Alien Plant is a highly creative design that I found on the Etsy platform. The green extraterrestrial is entirely knitted and rests in a small pot. The creator of the plant claims that Futurama and the Little Shop of Horror was the inspiration behind this piece.
What I particularly like about the One Eye Alien Plant is that it is very inventive and it is something that I have never seen before. This unique piece would work equally well in the home or at the office.
Implications - Youth consumers are attract to bizarre design and art that does not mirror an object in the real world. This stems from a desire to escape the mundane. Should consider creating products geared towards this impulse. One idea in particular is products for the home.
