# Woven Roadsters Ann Conte and Jeanne Wiley Make the Ultimate Handbasket By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-22 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-roadster References: [wickedlocal](http://www.wickedlocal.com/cohasset/fun/entertainment/arts/x673428536/Junk-car-becomes-art) A woven roadster may sound lame and artsy, but it is actually pretty damn cool. Who knew weaving could be so much fun? Ann Conte and Jeanne Wiley did. They turned a [1960s MG Midget](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgic-luxury-car) into the ultimate hooked-up weave. This woven roadster can't be driven, but you can look at it. This car is currently being shown at an [art exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Tattoo-Inspired-Land-Rover) in Cohasset, Massachusetts. My Easter baskets of yore pale in comparison to this. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Woven Roadsters:** The trend of creating woven roadsters opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for the automotive industry to explore new materials and design concepts. - **Artistic Car Modifications:** The trend of artistic car modifications presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the art and design industry to collaborate with automotive professionals and create unique, visually striking vehicles. - **Experiential Exhibits:** The trend of showcasing experiential exhibits offers disruptive innovation opportunities for the events and entertainment industry to create immersive and interactive displays, captivating audiences in new and exciting ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating woven materials and unconventional design techniques in car manufacturing, offering customers unique and visually appealing vehicles. - **Art and Design Industry:** The art and design industry can embrace disruptive innovation opportunities by collaborating with automotive professionals to transform cars into artistic masterpieces, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal. - **Events and Entertainment Industry:** The events and entertainment industry can leverage disruptive innovation opportunities by creating experiential exhibits that showcase visually captivating and interactive vehicles, providing unique and memorable experiences to visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage Car-Inspired Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaic-gt2x-radavist.md) - [Juxtaposing Powerful Sportscars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supersport.md) - [Delicate Basket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculpture.md) - [Rattan Detailed Custom Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiat-500-spiaggina.md) - [Intricately Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [1930s-Inspired Hand-Built Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-auto-sports.md) - [Knitted New York Subways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straphangers-lounge.md) - [Japanese Concept-Inspired Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniel-arsham-1.md)
