The Snake Rug (design name Eva) is by Britta Knuppel and is a glorious hybrid between a [snake shaped rug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textured-rug-design) and a hot water bottle. You plug it in like you would with an [electric blanket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-nanotube-heated-blanket) and it heats it. If that was not exciting enough, it can be [assembled as you wish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanimarquina). I want the winter to be here now (currently melting in the London heat) just so I can try this out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Heated Rugs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating customizable heated rugs that combine comfort and functionality. - **Hybrid Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring the potential of combining different product functionalities to create unique and appealing designs. - **Smart Textiles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating technology into textiles to enhance user experience and provide additional functionalities. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative and functional products that enhance the aesthetics and functionality of homes. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating new materials and technologies to create advanced and innovative textile products. - **Consumer Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering novel and unique products that cater to consumers' preferences and enhance their everyday lives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slithering Serpent Floor Coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorien-stern-snakes-rugs.md) - [Cozy Heated Sofa Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bohem-blanket.md) - [Eye-Catching Designer Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-rug.md) - [Sustainable Warmth Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bohem-1.md) - [Luxe Tiger Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-emotions-3.md) - [Bed-Gripping Heated Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhutte-box-electric-blanket.md) - [Fabric Heating Concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moritz-walter.md) - [70s-Inspired Plush Shag Rags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petra-rug-collection.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md)
