From craterlike cutouts in the divider to a [cloud-shaped serving tray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-tables1), the collection is both contemporary and whimsical. Created by Australian designers Christopher Thomas and Michael Travalia, the HOLO Foundouk Series is the result of a design jam session they took in Morocco. The collection is comprised of a beanbag called Daybed, an aluminum screen called Kech, a drink tray called Pool and an [aluminum table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables) called Lantern. There is a feminine quality to the clean, minimal HOLO Foundouk Series that can nevertheless be made more masculine depending on how it is styled within the home. Its pristine feel will definitely add a calming presence to spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Contemporary Design:** The HOLO Foundouk Series exemplifies contemporary design with its clean lines and sleek aesthetic. - **Whimsical Furniture:** The quirkiness of the HOLO Foundouk Series presents an opportunity for the whimsical furniture trend, appealing to consumers looking for unique and imaginative pieces. - **Innovative Materials:** The use of aluminum and unique cutouts in the HOLO Foundouk Series showcases the trend of utilizing innovative materials in furniture design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The HOLO Foundouk Series highlights opportunities for furniture designers to create contemporary and whimsical pieces. - **Home Decor:** The clean and minimalist aesthetic of the HOLO Foundouk Series provides inspiration for the home decor industry to create calming and stylish spaces. - **Interior Design:** The HOLO Foundouk Series can inspire interior designers to incorporate whimsical and innovative furniture into their projects, adding unique elements to spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Cutout Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-table.md) - [Playful Wavy Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-table-design.md) - [Playful Structural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma-collection.md) - [Playful Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stellar-works.md) - [Modular Beam-Themed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beam-collection.md) - [Fluid Wooden Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md) - [Crystalline Acrylic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel-flare-collection.md)
