The studio called upon a range of talents including several architects, artists, and designers to collectively create the capsule. Cala Resin is comprised of stout [planting pots, tables, and stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-planters-1). The styles of the furniture is a result of exploring polyester resin -- it is paired together with materials such as bronze, wood, and marble to create the striped and sleek finish. Mónica Calderón Studio explains that to focus on one material allows for a different design in its structure, color, and finish. The resin is the material in this case, where everyone finds new possibilities with it to create a correlating line of products. The stool is set on a heavier black marble foundation and patterned with hues of orange and grey to create a blended look. The pots are made in the colors yellow, blue, and black -- all of which are molded to have a folded structure. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fold-designed Home Furniture:** Polyester resin is explored to create unique home furniture and homeware pieces with a folded structure. - **Exploring New Possibilities with Materials:** Designers endeavor to find new possibilities with a certain material to create a correlating line of products. - **Blended Look Furniture:** Bronze, wood, marble and polyester resin are paired to create blended look sleek finished furniture pieces. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Industry:** Furniture industry can benefit from exploring new materials to create unique furniture pieces with a blend of materials. - **Design Industry:** Design industry can benefit from exploring new possibilities with materials to create correlating product lines. - **Home Decor Industry:** Home decor industry can benefit from offering blended-look furniture pieces using varying materials to create a new take on traditional furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Powder-Coated Aluminum Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/material-studies.md) - [Playful Structural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma-collection.md) - [California-Inspired Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondos-outdoor.md) - [Oceanic-Themed Playful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-cober.md) - [Artful Structural Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/five-pieces-collection-no-1.md) - [Artful Ethereal Iridescent Resin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest.md) - [Natural Resource Ceramic Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicol-morales.md) - [Bright Colorful Structural Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fels.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md)
