# Hulk-Sized Hammocks The California Polytechnic State 'WHITE' Project is For Lazy Loungers By Senduran Bhakthakumaran | Published 2012-04-12 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polytechnic-state-white-project References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/47290/) & [designrulz](http://www.designrulz.com/product-design/sofa-product-design/2012/04/white-installation-the-biggest-comfortable-hammock/) The California Polytechnic State 'WHITE' project seems like it would be the perfect design idea for a lazy Sunday party. It is a gigantic hammock made from cut-up plastic that was turned into prefabricated panels and then put into a 416 square-foot gallery. It covers the entire area. It looks like the web of the gargantuan spider from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but it is much more welcoming and doesn't have the looming danger of being eaten alive. The project aimed to create a continuous surface that could get audiences to see space in a different perspective and also provide some fun on campus. Students can sit around, or take a chance and move around too. This project really opens up doors to interior design that could be revolutionary. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Design:** The use of upcycled plastic in the creation of these hammocks presents an opportunity for further exploration in sustainable design. - **Interactive Spaces:** The creation of a continuous surface that encourages movement opens up possibilities for interactive spaces in design. - **Gigantic Installations:** The creation of giant, immersive installations can create unique and memorable experiences for audiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The 'WHITE' project presents an opportunity to explore new and innovative approaches to interior design. - **Sustainability:** The use of upcycled plastic in the creation of these hammocks presents an opportunity for further exploration in sustainable practices. - **Arts and Culture:** Giant installations, like the 'WHITE' project, can provide unique and engaging experiences for audiences interested in exploring arts and culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heavy-Duty Hammock Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavyduty-hammock-tent.md) - [Hammock-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palmera.md) - [Outdoor Lounging Rocking Hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panama-banana.md) - [Red Aluminum Walkway Periscopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunset-hammock.md) - [Oversized Floating Water Hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-hangout-15.md) - [Featherlight Hammock Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-hammock.md) - [Inflated Design Classroom Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intermittent-dome.md) - [Experimental Shelter Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grayhus.md) - [Floating Multi-Person Water Hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-hammock.md)
