# Etched Cartoon Cubes Wooden Monster Dice by Geoff McFetridge Reuse Old Furniture Wood By Jason Soy | Published 2011-05-08 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-monster-dice References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2011/05/04/nieves-books-x-e15-x-geoff-mcfetridge-wooden-monster-dice/) & [championdontstop](http://championdontstop.com/site3/champ.html) It may not be turning garbage into a renewable fuel source, but any recycling is good recycling. Geoff McFetridge, a graphic artist and director, was approached by furniture company e15 to create something out of its [leftover furniture wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formwork-collection), and the result are these wooden monster dice. The wooden monster dice feature caricatures from Geoff McFetridge’s music video for the song Golden Cage by the electro-pop band The Whitest Boy Alive. The cartoon creations are laser etched onto the [wooden cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cul-de-sac-japon-x-karimoku-furniture) and are just as endearing in dice form as they are in the music video. Though originally limited to 200 pieces and only available at Nieve Books and e15 stores, the wooden monster dice can now be found in stock at Singapore’s Surrender store. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 Furniture:** Repurposing furniture scraps to create new products such as wooden dice and reducing waste. - **Laser Etched Designs:** Laser etching designs onto wooden surfaces, allowing for intricate and unique art pieces. - **Limited Edition Products:** Creating exclusive and limited edition products for select stores and markets. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Opportunity to utilize leftover furniture scraps to create new and unique products. - **Art and Design:** Incorporating technology such as laser etching to create intricate designs on traditional materials. - **Retail:** Partnering with larger retailers to exclusively sell limited edition products and drive traffic to stores. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artisanal Interior Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dice-design-system.md) - [Oozing Cake-Like Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roll-furniture.md) - [Mechanical Vintage Dice Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wm-levsha.md) - [Styrofoam Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trashy.md) - [Sustainable Side Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-up-side-tables.md) - [Upcycled Waste Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-furniture-design.md) - [Upcycled Veneer Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-george-collection.md) - [Artful Wooden Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knowledge-of-all-dark-things.md) - [Waste-Based Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofriendly-furniture1.md)
