The entire collection is inspired by the chaotic crumbling and shaping of [metal sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facet-collection). It features four chairs and tables that toy with metal motifs and an inspired vision that exemplifies modish furniture design. Each piece was created digitally first and executed with digital scanning of initially tiny models. However, this procedure does not interfere with the overall vision of design. "You still get the sense that the metal is doing what it wants," says the design team of their striking collection. The Crush by Fredrikson Stallard is hypnotizing with its [unsymmetrical visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-coffee-tables) and modernistic design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Avant-garde Furniture Design:** The Crush by Fredrikson Stallard collection exemplifies the potential for disruptive innovation in furniture design with its chaotic and unconventional approach. - **Digital Modeling and Scanning:** The use of digital modeling and scanning techniques in creating the Crush collection opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the manufacturing process of furniture. - **Unsymmetrical Visuals and Modernistic Design:** The trend of incorporating unsymmetrical visuals and modernistic design elements, as seen in the Crush collection, presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the aesthetics of furniture. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** The Crush collection highlights disruptive innovation possibilities for the furniture design industry, pushing boundaries with its unconventional forms and materials. - **Manufacturing:** The utilization of digital modeling and scanning techniques showcased in the Crush collection introduces disruptive innovation possibilities for the manufacturing processes in the furniture industry. - **Interior Design:** The incorporation of unsymmetrical visuals and modernistic design elements from the Crush collection presents disruptive innovation opportunities for interior designers seeking unconventional and avant-garde aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metal-Centric Playful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sight-unseen-1.md) - [Stunningly Ornamental Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erm-studio.md) - [Geologically Fluid Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-geology-table-collection.md) - [Crystalline Acrylic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel-flare-collection.md) - [Jewelry-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-chrome-reflections.md) - [Bent Steel Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creu-coffee-table.md) - [Dynamic Strong Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-table.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md) - [Blurred Bold Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blur-coffee-table.md)
