# Geometric Furniture Collections Grupo Metafisico Received Praise at New York Design Week By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-05-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grupo-metafisico References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/grupo-metafisico-pablo-alabau-new-york-design-week-05-29-2014/) & [pabloalabau](http://www.pabloalabau.com/) Grupo Metafisico is a collection of furniture put on display at New York Design Week by Pablo Alabau. The pieces all take on a very [geometrical design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solis-collection), and are made out of [white birch wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collective-collection). One stool features a line down the middle with symmetrical patterns on either side. While this is extremely subtle, it's also what makes this collection so unique. Sometimes designers go over the top in terms of making pieces stand out from the competition, but this is a perfect example of how the small details can make for a memorable item. The collection consists of multipurpose pieces, as well as side tables and stools. These would be ideal to add a subtle touch of luxury to any living room home space.
