# Extraterrestrial Plants The One Eye Alien Plant is a Creative Design Concept By Christopher DeLuca | Published 2011-07-26 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-eye-alien-plant References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/75249130/one-eye-alien-plant-amigurumi-small?ref=storque) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/people/missusD?ref=ls_profile) The One Eye Alien Plant is a highly creative design that I found on the Etsy platform. The [green extraterrestrial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mugler-alien-extraintense) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantable-office). **Implications** - Youth consumers are attract to [bizarre design and art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Extraterrestrial Aesthetics:** Opportunity for product designers to create unique and unconventional items for the home and office. - **Bizarre Inspiration:** Opportunity for artists and designers to find inspiration in unconventional sources, creating never-before-seen products. - **Fantastical Knitted Creations:** Opportunity for textile artists to embrace unconventional shapes and forms in their craft. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Product Design:** Designers can create products with extraterrestrial themes for use in the home or office environment. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can incorporate unconventional inspirations into their work, creating unique and appealing products. - **Textile and Knitwear:** Craftspeople can explore new shapes and forms in their work, creating fantastical knitted creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Nature-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-2.md) - [Anamorphic Fuzzy Glowing Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-vases.md) - [Plant-Friendly Night Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacecrop.md) - [Alien-Inspired Metal Stool Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metal-stool-1.md) - [Virtual Pet Planter Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pot-concept.md) - [Plush Plant-Shaped Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amuseable-bonsai-tree.md) - [Plant-Friendly Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jcp-universe-coloniae.md) - [Illusory Planter Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooted-planter.md)
