Designed by Extrastudio Arquitectura, this ceiling is made of [laser-cut plywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decorative-wall-panels) that matches the pattern of the shop's counter. While certainly eye-catching, the FugasLusas delicatessen merges low-tech traditional materials with technological processes for a unique and special outcome. **Implications** - Bringing attention to an aspect of a home that normally doesn't catch an individual's eye, this [interesting ceiling design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-ceiling-light-ultra) is surely one that will change the expectations for home decor. Designers now have an intent to provide a more appealing outlook as a whole, ceiling included, as opposed to just focusing on the style and look at eye level, pushing companies of other products to think more about the entirety of a single design as opposed to just one aspect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Decorative Ceilings:** The rise of decorative ceilings in architectural and interior design creates opportunities for laser cutting technology and traditional materials to merge. - **Holistic Design:** Consumers expect a comprehensive approach to product design, pushing companies to think beyond individual aspects of a product. - **Elevated Home Decor:** Home decor is moving beyond traditional styles and becoming more innovative, paving the way for unique and special designs such as laser-cut plywood ceilings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Interior Design:** The use of laser-cutting technology and traditional materials in decorative ceilings creates an opportunity for innovation in architectural design. - **Home Decor:** As consumers demand more innovative solutions, home decor companies have the potential to offer unique and eye-catching designs with products such as laser-cut plywood ceilings. - **Woodworking and Manufacturing:** The use of laser-cutting technology to create intricate patterns in wood creates new possibilities for the woodworking and manufacturing industries to offer decorative products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Ribbon-Like Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fellas-ceiling-light.md) - [Contemporary Ceiling Grid Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-ceiling-tiles.md) - [Delicate Illusory Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-light.md) - [Slick Perforated Steel Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perforated-steel-furniture.md) - [Perforated LED Table Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume.md) - [Elegant Metal Perforated Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreshadow-table-lamp.md) - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md) - [Textured Fluted Light Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dekton.md) - [Curved Surface Portuguese Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-within-a-few-lines.md)
