# Man-Eating Sleeping Bags The 'Bear' by Eiko Ishizawa Swallows You Up, Literally By Cowbag | Published 2009-02-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-sleeping-bags-the-bear-by-eiko-ishizawa References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/The_Sleeping_Bear--Outdoor--Home.html) & [eikoishizawa](http://eikoishizawa.com/) The 'Bear' is unquestionably the greatest sleeping bag ever--awesome work from artist Eiko Ishizawa. Too good to save for just [camping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haven-spectre-tent)! It would, of course, also be great to use to scare the crap out of your friends. This is so brilliant I am desperate for one, but with no price listed I can sadly conclude that the 'Bear' sleeping bag is out of my price range. Let's hope someone snaps up the rights and makes it affordable to all. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Animal-inspired Products:** Opportunity to develop more innovative and immersive animal-inspired products in various industries. - **Novelty Camping Gear:** Opportunity to create unique and entertaining camping gear to enhance the camping experience. - **Fear-inducing Products:** Opportunity to design products that elicit fear and surprise to entertain and engage customers. ### Where This Applies - **Outdoor Gear and Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the outdoor gear industry to create unconventional and attention-grabbing products. - **Recreational Products:** Opportunity to introduce disruptive and whimsical products in the recreational products industry to captivate customers. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the art and design industry to blend creativity and functionality in unique products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Manga-Inspired Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanga-attack-on-titan-sleeping-bag.md) - [Butterfly-Inspired Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ust-monarch-sleeping-bag.md) - [Extreme Environment Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerogel-sleeping-bag.md) - [Air Mattress-Equipped Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trekroll-sleeping-bag.md) - [Featherweight Down Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/down-sleeping-bag.md) - [Extra-Comfy Campsite Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kammok-ursa-sleep-system.md) - [Aerogel-Filled Warm Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biigloo.md) - [Sustainably Synthetic Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/synthetic-sleeping-bag.md) - [Battery-Powered Heated Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coleman-onesource-heated-sleeping-bag.md)
