Return to the Cave

Stone Age parody acknowledges dwindling materialism

Implications - Innovations inspired by more basic, sometimes even primitive, ways of life speak to consumers who are coming to terms with a less materialistic life. In the midst of economic fluctuation and instability, people are questioning the root of human nature and exploring more primal ways of being.
Trend Themes
1. Primitivism - Consumers are seeking simpler, more primitive ways of life and looking to innovations that are inspired by primitive times.
2. Caveman Fashion - The concept of cavemen is being used in advertising, fashion design and interior decoration.
3. Caveman Culinary - The world of cooking and kitchen utensils is being influenced by primitive designs and tools.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Innovative designers are creating furniture and interior decorations inspired by prehistoric times, giving homeowners an opportunity to differentiate themselves from others.
2. Advertising - Advertisers are using caveman concepts to generate interest and reinvigorate brand loyalty for their products.
3. Kitchenware - The use of primitive tools and designs in the creation of contemporary kitchenware is an area of opportunity for innovation and product differentiation.
