The inspiration lies between both art and graphics, ranging from Pop Art sensibilities, the Bauhaus movement, [stripe details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripe-throw-blanket), [geometric elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discorectangle), and spray paint visual effects as well. Similar to the label's textiles, the designs boast bright and bold hues that are merged with expressive structures to result in a selection of comfortable soft blankets that function as both art pieces and its blanket purpose. The collection sees work by artists and designers including Moiré, Harry Allen, Sarah Parke & Mark Barrow, Liz Collins, Sophie Probst, and Michele Rondelli. Every blanket is constructed from 100% woven cotton jacquard to deliver something that is extremely soft, yet sturdy enough to serve in home environments, at the beach, and the park. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artist-designed Home Textiles:** The trend of artist-designed home textiles is disrupting the traditional home textiles industry by introducing eclectic design and functional art into the market. - **Multi-functional Art Pieces:** The trend of multi-functional art pieces is disrupting the traditional art industry by providing art that doubles up as functional items, like blankets, adding value to the customer. - **Expressive Structures Design:** The trend of expressive structures design is disrupting the traditional design industry, as it moves away from a minimalist approach and towards a more eclectic interpretation of design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Textiles Industry:** The home textiles industry can benefit from collaborating with artists to create unique and eclectic products that redefine home decor. - **Art Industry:** The art industry can benefit from multi-functional art pieces like blankets that can cater to a wider audience and add value to customers. - **Design Industry:** The design industry can benefit from incorporating expressive structures into their products to provide more variety in design and cater to those who appreciate bold and unconventional design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Forward Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-blanket.md) - [Artful Graphic Beach Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-terry-beach-towel.md) - [Dynamic Distinct Blanket Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caregiver-blankets.md) - [Designer-Forward Blanket Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blanket-collections.md) - [Playful Pattern Luxe Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woolen-blanket.md) - [Bold Patterned Bedding Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-series-collection.md) - [Streetwear-Inspired Cashmere Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-2.md) - [Elevated Striped Throw Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seidel.md) - [High-Fashion Throw Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erdem-1.md)
