# Childlike Metallic Noteboards Catarina Carreiras's Simplistic Frame Design Looks Like a Drawing By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-12-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-design References: [fabricashop.myshopify](http://fabricashop.myshopify.com/products/quadro) & [catarinacarreiras](http://www.catarinacarreiras.com/filter/objects/Quadro) If you want a more visually appealing way to keep track of your random notes, reminders and bits of paper that need a home, this frame design is a fun option. Created by Catarina Carreiras for Extra Ordinary Gallery and available from Fabrica, the [Quadro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-fiodor) frame design consists of a simple drawing. Similar in style to the back of an envelope, the rectangular shape has an 'X' through the middle. As it is made out of metal, you can affix things to it using the provided [small black magnets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shearing-magnetic-absorption). The designer noteboard offers a blank canvas for the notices that make up your life, which will transform its basic composition into a personalized work of art. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Visual Noteboard:** Creating visually appealing noteboards that serve as a blank canvas for personalized artwork and reminders. - **Simplified Frame Design:** Incorporating minimalist and simplistic frame designs for functional and aesthetically pleasing noteboards. - **Metallic Construction:** Utilizing metal as a material for noteboards, allowing users to easily affix notes using magnets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Décor:** A growing market for visually appealing and customizable noteboards that blend functionality with design. - **Stationery:** Designing simplified frame structures and innovative materials for noteboards to enhance the desk organization experience. - **Art and Craft Supplies:** Creating noteboards that double as personalized works of art, appealing to artists and creative individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Marble Photo Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memorable-picture-frame.md) - [Note Clip Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip.md) - [Cubic Minimalist Memo Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memo-block.md) - [Minimalist Modular Creative Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-desk.md) - [Paper-Free To-Do Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eminder.md) - [Reusable Magnetic Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note.md) - [Illuminated Stainless Steel Clipboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-b.md) - [Sticky Notes Holder Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-note-holder.md) - [Magnetic Document-Holding Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holder-desk-lamp.md)
