The Limited Edition Designer Dolls represent three important figures in the design and architecture world: Zaha Hadid, Jaime Hayon and [Karim Rashid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karim-rashid-for-ubbi). While the dolls are not in production yet (the Karim figure was photographed at the [London Design Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nora-restaurant) shop), we are hoping for the good news of their availability soon! I'm waiting for the Philippe Starck one :) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Designer Dolls for Adults:** Adult-focused designer dolls may become a new trend to bridge the gap between design and playfulness. - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** Design-focused limited edition dolls could become a new niche collectible market. - **Designer Products for Home Decor:** Designer dolls such as these could be used as unique, art-like pieces for home decor. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers could explore creating designer dolls for the adult market. - **Collectibles:** The collectibles industry could expand into the limited edition designer doll niche market. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies could incorporate designer dolls as unique decor items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collectable Sculptural Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll.md) - [Artful Collectible Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md) - [Collectible Luxury Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marsper-x-gucci.md) - [Doll-Inspired Modern Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder.md) - [Designer Blind Box Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-top.md) - [Pink-Hued Furniture Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-kartell-chairs.md) - [Luxe Fashion Porcelain Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porcelain-figurines-1.md) - [Timber Tech-Packed Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-engineering-wooden-dolls.md)
