At its core, 'Digital Decay' by Zachary Eastwood-Bloom is a modern-day [deconstructivist work of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness). This computer-generated [collection of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection-2) includes a [chair and table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table) designed to look like they're in the process of degeneration.

Created with sophisticated 3D modeling software, 'Digital Decay' by Zachary Eastwood-Bloom is typical to the designer's work in that it analyzes the laws of physics and technology with an exploration of material, mass and volume.
