# Elaborate Fruit-Based Tapestries This Organic Carpet from Villa Eugénie is Entirely Made of F By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-07-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-carpet References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/villa-eugenie-kenzo-fruit-carpet) & [villaeugenie](http://www.villaeugenie.com/) Using only fresh fruit, event firm [Villa Eugénie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-bites) created a magnificent organic carpet. The fruity and elaborate carpet is entirely composed of produce. Villa Eugénie used fruits such as lemons, limes, apples, bananas and strawberries to create the colorful masterpiece. The fruit-based rug was created for the launch of Kenzo’s Spring/Summer menswear 2014 collection. In addition to the organic installation, Villa Eugénie provided fruit juices from [Bob's Juice Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brown-sugar-blondie-mix) to augment the fruit-inspired theme. Visitors were invited to sample from the elaborate carpet and dismantle it. Though the use of a massive amount of fruit may seem wasteful, Villa Eugénie managed to compensate for it after the event. At the end of the event, leftover fruit was donated to the [Red Cross](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fullbodied-stout). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Organic Carpets:** The use of organic materials, such as fresh fruit, to create unique and eco-friendly carpets. - **Fruit-based Installations:** The creation of artistic installations using fresh fruits, promoting sustainability and creative expression. - **Waste Reduction Initiatives:** Efforts to minimize waste and promote sustainability by repurposing leftover materials, like donating excess fruit to charitable organizations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Event Planning and Design:** Innovating in event design by incorporating organic and sustainable elements, such as fruit-based installations. - **Interior Design and Decor:** Exploring new possibilities for eco-friendly and biodegradable flooring options, like organic carpets made from fresh fruit. - **Food and Beverage:** Finding creative ways to repurpose excess fruits and reduce waste, such as donating leftover fruit to organizations like the Red Cross. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fruit-Inspired Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitinspired-furniture-collection.md) - [Flower-Inspired Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espressionismo-floreale.md) - [Fruit-Focused Hotel Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exotic-fruit-basket.md) - [Oil Painting-Inspired Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antonio-santn.md) - [Exquisite Textured Rug Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textured-rug.md) - [Optical Illusion Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-3d-carpet.md) - [Fruit Waste Ink Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-waste-ink.md) - [Dynamic Flatwoven Carpet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-colection.md) - [Desert-Inspired Floor Coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-rug.md)
