Focusing on the material feldspar, the world's most prevalent mineral which makes up 60% of the Earth's crust, the Disquiet Luxurians series specifically "explores alternative trends for the production and consumption of [rare and luxurious objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-objects)" as written by the artist. Created by Emilie F. Grenier, a recent graduate from MA Textile Futures at [Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-grow-a-refrigerator) who splits her time between London and Montréal, the items that make up the Disquiet Luxurians series are unique and minimalist. They introduce " a new luxury of ethical and elegant standards," as observed by Trendland.
