# Handmade Brutalist Furniture Rooms Used Concrete and Marble for Its 'Life on Earth' Collection By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-05-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutalist-furniture References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/05/31/life-on-earth-furniture-marble-concrete-rooms-milan-design-week/) & [rooms.ge](http://rooms.ge/en/) In a series of decisively Brutalist furniture, Rooms—a Tbilisi-based design duo—communicates the beauty of nomadic forms. The collection, which is thematically dubbed 'Life on Earth,' on one hand references speculations about creating a livable environment on Mars and, on the other, it pays homage to the dynamic between Asian and European culture from the personal childhood experiences of Rooms' founders — Nata Janberidze and Keti Toloraia. The [brutalist furniture collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mohmaya) consists of 12 pieces that are abstract and raw. The shapes, forms and materials build on [architectural movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-order), ultimately translating the motifs of grand buildings to small everyday objects. Curious pieces in the brutalist furniture line include the [Primitive Coffee Table in marble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-frammenti), which boasts a semi-spherical and asymmetrically placed base and the Bus Stop Bench, which takes cues from Soviet bus stops. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Brutalist Furniture Design:** There is a growing trend for brutalist furniture designs that prioritize rawness and abstraction. - **Incorporating Architectural Motifs:** Furniture makers can incorporate architectural motifs to create unique pieces that transcend function. - **Multicultural Influences in Design:** Multicultural influences can inspire unique design concepts and create opportunities for cross-cultural collaboration. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can create innovative product lines inspired by architectural movements and multicultural influences. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate brutalist furniture pieces that add rawness and abstraction to a space while paying homage to architectural forms and multicultural influences. - **Architecture:** Architects can collaborate with furniture designers to incorporate their motifs into buildings, creating a seamless dialogue between the structures and their contents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Steel Hybrid Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloc-studios.md) - [Utilitarian Matte Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutantes-series.md) - [Concrete Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancora.md) - [Industrial Strength Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intra-side-table.md) - [Organic Ancient Design Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-to-people-furniture-collection.md) - [Nature-Inspired Rocky Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-rubble.md) - [Modernist Artful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colendra.md) - [Sculptural Marble Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-frammenti.md) - [Dynamically Artful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erosion-collection.md)
