# Circuit Board Chests Theo Kamecke Makes Tech Look Ancient in His Circuitry Sculpture By Amelia Roblin | Published 2010-08-31 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circuitry-sculpture References: [theokamecke](http://www.theokamecke.com/main.html) Technology's trash is undoubtedly design's treasure when considering artist Theo Kamecke's breathtaking Circuitry Sculpture. Kamecke's collection of decorative art objects reuse old circuit boards and defines an entirely unique aesthetic style. This Circuitry Sculpture is caught somewhere between Ancient Egypt, 10th century Turkey and the modern Western world. Theo Kamecke's tables, chests and artwork are reminiscent of the elaborate artifacts of the Eastern Roman Empire, and yet the surface materials used are exclusively ultramodern. The appearance of his Circuitry Sculpture exhibits intricate avant-garde patterns in copper wire as opposed to ancient or medieval gold wire. We can confidently call the work of Theo Kamecke truly timeless. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycling Art:** Artists are using discarded tech materials to create stunning upcycling art, offering a new way to reuse electronic waste. - **Fusion of Ancient & Modern:** Creating a fusion of ancient style and modern materials, artists and designers are exploring a new aesthetic that combines old world craftsmanship with new technology. - **Tech-inspired Decor:** Tech-inspired decor is on the rise, as designers incorporate technological elements in furniture and decor to create a unique and futuristic look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art & Design:** Artists and designers are leading the charge in finding innovative ways to upcycle discarded tech materials for their work. - **Tech Recycling & Waste Management:** As e-waste continues to grow, the tech recycling and waste management industry has an opportunity to find new ways to reduce and repurpose electronic waste. - **Furniture & Home Decor:** The fusion of technology and traditional artisanal craftsmanship presents an opportunity for furniture and home decor companies to create unique products that appeal to modern sensibilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Printed Circuit Sconces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-circuit.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Retro Arcade Circuit Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-1.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Technology Connection Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codecraftchaos.md) - [Repurposed Vintage Apple Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/repurposed-vintage-apple-computers.md) - [Analog Nostalgia Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii.md) - [Electronic Packaging-Made Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgar-stool.md) - [Upcycled Metal Sheet Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-metal-sheet.md)
