Funky Outdoor Decor

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Garden Gnomes with Street Cred

— January 8, 2009 — Art & Design
Modernize your garden with these rapping and reclining garden dwarfs. The German design factory Barthelmess developed two styles of garden dwarfs that are far hipper than your average outdoor decor. These polystyrene dwarfs are available in white, green, pink, or blue and feature sweet shades and relaxed poses to further establish their street cred.

Implications - Quirky products like these playfully send up hip hop culture in order to entice consumers who have an eye for mischievous creations to spruce up their home. Any time a company offers its customers the opportunity to make their world a bit more enjoyable, it is also giving itself the opportunity to be rewarded for its creativity.

3. Cultural References in Design - Incorporating elements of popular culture, like hip hop, into garden decor items can capture the attention of customers who appreciate unconventional and creative products.
Industry Implications
