AeroObsession

A flighty culture has some becoming airplane crazed.

Implications - From hotels inside airplanes to home decor made of plane interiors, airplanes are no longer just flying from A to B. Organizations that expand the scope of a product or service well outside its customary setting can find access to a whole new customer base; not to mention benefit from buzz generated by new contexts.
Trend Themes
1. Multifunctional Products - Products like the Milner AirCar and Jumbo Hostel inspire creative reuse of transportation materials, offering a unique experience and an opportunity for environmental innovation.
2. Aviation-themed Decor - Designs like the Jet Set Lite cabin lighting and MotoArt Mile High Bed capitalize on airplane style and nostalgia, opening new markets for creative vintage designs.
3. Airline Industry Diversification - From custom-built food carts to biplane weddings, companies like Flight001 and individual entrepreneurs are finding fresh ways to profit from the airline industry’s retired resources.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The Milner AirCar presents a promising option for eco-friendly transportation, merging ground and air functionalities for greater efficiency.
2. Furniture - The MotoArt Mile High Bed introduces new possibilities for furniture designers, who can re-purpose airplane parts for chic and athletic designs
3. Real Estate - The Jumbo Hostel demonstrates how innovative real estate professionals can profit from unconventional adaptions of retired resources, building new options for travel and hospitality.
