The installation sports a completely [wooden rug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cresco-rug) that features a dining room chair that holds the piece up to give it a look as though it is holding up the floor. 'Parquetry' plays with different angles to provide viewers a completely obscure experience that conjures many questions: is it really a wooden carpet? Just how did the artist create such a complex creation? Mooney is renowned for her [obscure installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exodus-exhibition) that bend the borders of perception and move in an almost surrealist direction that is sometimes hard to describe using mere words. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Unconventional Materials:** The trend of using unconventional materials, such as wood, in unexpected ways presents disruptive innovation opportunities for designers and artists to create unique and thought-provoking installations. - **Optical Illusion Art:** The trend of creating optical illusion art, like Daniella Mooney's 'Parquetry,' opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for artists to play with perception and challenge traditional artistic mediums. - **Surreal Installations:** The trend of creating surreal installations, like Daniella Mooney's work, creates disruptive innovation opportunities for artists to push boundaries and create immersive experiences that defy reality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating unconventional materials and creating optical illusion art like 'Parquetry'. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can tap into disruptive innovation opportunities by integrating unconventional materials like wood rugs and incorporating surreal installations to create unique and captivating spaces. - **Experiential Marketing:** The experiential marketing industry can leverage disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating surreal installations like 'Parquetry' to create immersive brand experiences that captivate and engage consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Desert-Inspired Floor Coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-rug.md) - [Sculptural Seating Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rondin.md) - [Optical Illusion Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-3d-carpet.md) - [Cultural Wood Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-cloth-object.md) - [Dynamic Flatwoven Carpet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-colection.md) - [Floral-Inspired Home Rug Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-garden.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md) - [Season-Inspired Rug Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-rug-range.md) - [Hand-Tufted Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floordrobe.md)
