The small, bright-colored pompoms are made of recycled Sarees, the vividly draped traditional Indian garments worn by women in India. The individual pompom shells are made of 100% upcycled linen and silk from Sarees, with 100% cotton filling inside. Wooden legs are made of locally found Indian wood. The intricately sewn pouf would make a great [decorative seating or foot stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truffle-pouf). The bubble-like 3D texture of the pouf livens up any room atmosphere. This [upcycled furniture line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosana-sousa) was showcased at the 2013 Milan Design Week, in recognition for its eco-friendly aspect of converting old and discarded clothes into something new and exciting. The Pompom pouf would be a nice finishing touch for the environmentally conscious furniture lovers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Upcycling:** The trend of repurposing discarded materials into functional objects presents opportunities for sustainable innovation. - **Ethnic-inspired Decor:** Adapting cultural textiles into contemporary furniture designs presents an opportunity to create unique and striking decor. - **Eco-friendly Design:** Designing sustainable products and reducing waste presents an opportunity for environmentally conscious companies to differentiate themselves in the market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can explore using recycled or upcycled materials to create unique, sustainable products. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can focus on developing sustainable materials and exploring ways to repurpose leftover fabrics. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate ethnic-inspired designs and sustainable materials into their projects to create eco-friendly yet stylish spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gathering-Encouraged Playful Poufs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma-pouf.md) - [Rippled Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffa-furniture.md) - [Upcycled Denim Waste Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluff-stack-furniture.md) - [Recycled Shoe-Made Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix-maison.md) - [Contemporary Upcycled Bright Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix-maison-1.md) - [Geometric Upholstered Poufs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tait.md) - [Simplistic Outdoor Poufs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/costuras-poufs.md) - [Recycled Dynamic Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair.md) - [Nature-Inspired Modular Pouf Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apego.md)
