Passion for pineapple

We all love this fruit, and when you think about it - it's not that strange. A juicy, exotic fruit that make us dream of summer and foreign worlds. 

The fascination of pineapples started back in the 15th century. At the time it was a rare and very expensive fruit, and therefore it became a symbol of wealth and hospitality. At dinners people decorated the tables with pineapples to show their status. The architects at the time was not late to embrace the popularity of the fruit. They used the shape for textiles, lamps and even buildings.

Nowadays you see the pineapple everywhere. The sources to this collage you can find on our Pinterest account Passion for pineapple (you follow us on Pinterest, right?). 

This motif is called Pineapple and is designed by the German illustrator Rina Donnersmarck. Perfect in a kids room or maybe in your kitchen. 

For someone who like the motifs a little more abstract Swedish designer Iwa Herdensjös Abacaxi might be the perfect choice. 

Pineapples are also hiding in NU Agencys motif Wild at heart. Beautiful, isn't it?

Yesterday we loved the owl, today the pineapple. What do you think will be the next big trend?
