Sticks, as its name suggests, is made entirely of wood, with [giant wooden sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-camp) surrounding the main three-tier structure. The sticks are more of an aesthetic addition than anything else, although they do provide a small amount of privacy from the outside world. The [circular structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-pavilion) behind the sticks is where the tots would be kept. The first floor would function as a reception area and kitchen, with the middle floor being used to [teach up to 12 children](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinder-rain) and the top floor seeing use strictly as a terrace. Since Sticks by Djuric Tardio doesn't require heavy equipment, or use harmful materials, it could be set up almost anywhere where there's free space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/babies) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Nurseries:** The trend of eco-friendly nurseries is on the rise, with a focus on sustainable materials and designs. - **Wooden Structures:** The use of wooden structures in architectural design is gaining popularity due to their aesthetic appeal and eco-friendly properties. - **Flexible Learning Spaces:** There is an increasing demand for flexible learning spaces that can accommodate different age groups and educational activities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** The architecture industry can explore innovative ways to incorporate sustainable materials like wood into their designs. - **Childcare:** The childcare industry can adopt eco-friendly practices and designs to create nurseries that prioritize the well-being of children and the environment. - **Education:** The education industry can explore the use of flexible learning spaces to enhance the learning experience and cater to different teaching methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tent‑Filled Daycare Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deya-day-care.md) - [Vibrantly Designed Nursery Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multichildcare-crche.md) - [Historically Based Nurseries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rgis-roudil.md) - [Hidden Garden Timber Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-room-around-a-tree.md) - [Town-Like Classroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindergarten-of-museum.md) - [Puzzle-Inspired Italian Nurseries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noahs-ark-nursery.md) - [Olive Pit-Constructed Kids Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nontalo.md) - [Nature-Promoting School Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primary-school-1.md) - [Cartoonish Tubular Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubular-treehouse.md)
