What originated as a Kickestarker campaign has turned into a product back-ordered until August 2017. Each pin is "moulded in the UK over german-made, black steel pins, then sent to Tokyo where they are painstakingly brush painted by hand and assembled into their serial-numbered, polished-acrylic display cases." The meticulous care are attention to detail in these pins has continued even past the initial [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p3n-pen) campaign. Also available is a single hand-painted moon pin made in Taiwan. The couple behind these planetary push pins is known in the design and Kickstarter communities. Their fun designs like [rainbow pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-pencils) and [fun sticky page-markers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks) also hold a similar fun-loving aesthetic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hand-painted Products:** Opportunity to disrupt the market with unique and artistic hand-painted products. - **Artisanal Manufacturing:** Potential for disruptive innovation by focusing on meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. - **Quirky Stationery:** Innovation potential lies in creating out-of-the-ordinary stationery items that add interest and personality to everyday tasks. ### Where This Applies - **Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the design industry by creating unique and creative products. - **Handmade Crafts:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the handmade crafts industry by offering meticulously hand-painted products. - **Stationery:** Innovation opportunities in the stationery industry by introducing quirky and unconventional products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aerospace-Inspired Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novium-edge-and-shuttleport.md) - [Minimal Paper Sconces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pin-sconce.md) - [Vibrant Organizational Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-pegboard.md) - [Korean Game-Inspired Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-desk-accessories.md) - [Spaced-Themed LED Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-room.md) - [Planetary-Inspired Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-collection.md) - [Eclipse-Inspired Whimsical Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-traveler.md) - [Playful Space-Themed Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacethemed-dessert.md) - [Galactic-Themed Pen Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-desk-pen.md)
