The [limited-edition designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-revives) debuted at Milan Salone del Mobile 2009, and are reinvented versions of [traditional furniture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intersections-exhibition) with the [square in mind](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co) throughout. According to Yatzer, Frederik Roije says that “...products have a habit of disappearing because of their functionality. I want to prevent this by giving products an additional value. This value is the story behind the product.” Check out the full gallery of Frederik Roije’s ‘Squares’ series above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Furniture:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating sleek and functional furniture designs that prioritize simplicity. - **Reimagined Classics:** Potential for disruptive innovation in transforming traditional furniture pieces into modern, avant-garde designs. - **Storytelling Products:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating products that have a narrative element and additional value beyond functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the furniture industry by exploring geometric and minimalist designs. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the interior design industry by incorporating reimagined classic furniture pieces into modern spaces. - **Art and Design Retail:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the retail industry by offering unique and storytelling products that resonate with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Cutout Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-table.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formfunctional-archifurniture.md) - [Sculptural Avant-Garde Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interior-furniture.md) - [Reimagined Monolithic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossil-furniture.md) - [Geometric Table Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solis-collection.md) - [Sliding Grid-Affixed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/square-to-square.md) - [Contemporary Collaborative Luxe Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ann-demeulemeesterserax.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Modular Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-order.md) - [Soft Geometric-Themed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oru-collection.md)
