Oddball Home Decor

Al Que Quiere Designs Artistically Creative Furniture and Objects

— February 4, 2013 — Art & Design
Decorating a home with pickings from Al Que Quiere, a design firm based in Los Angeles, California, could easily transform it into an art gallery of sorts. The quirky, oddball decor offers tons of room for interpretation. Nevertheless, the furniture, no matter how contemporary, is much more familiar. Overall, Al Que Quiere straddles the line between industrial design and art for pieces that will appeal to creatives.

Founded by Matthew Sullivan, Al Que Quiere derives its name from the Latin phrase, which roughly translates to 'for he who wants it.' As written on its website, "AQQ believes improvement/design, generally speaking (like a better chair, a better bowl, a better digital interface) is a very relative undertaking. Design is often functionally minded whilst being ignorant of its associative, cultural cargo."
Trend Themes
1. Quirky Home Decor - Opportunity for creating unique and unconventional home decor pieces that appeal to individuals looking for artistic expressions in their living spaces.
2. Blending Industrial Design and Art - Opportunity to integrate industrial design principles and artistic elements to create furniture and objects that appeal to both functional and creative needs.
3. Interpretable Design - Opportunity to offer home decor pieces that allow for personal interpretation, encouraging individuals to express their own creativity and style in their living spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture manufacturers to explore more artistic and unconventional designs that cater to individuals seeking unique home decor.
2. Interior Design - Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate quirky and interpretative home decor pieces into their projects, offering clients a chance to express their individuality.
3. Art Galleries and Exhibitions - Opportunity for art galleries and exhibitions to showcase and sell home decor pieces that straddle the line between industrial design and art, appealing to art enthusiasts and collectors.
