# Web-Like Lattice Architecture The La Voute de Le Fevre is Impressively Voluminous By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-01-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-voute References: [ignant.de](http://www.ignant.de/2013/01/14/la-voute/) & [matterdesignstudio](http://www.matterdesignstudio.com/projects/la-voute-de-lefevre/) An intriguing piece of architecture that encompasses both intelligent design and complete creative freedom, the La Voute de Le Fevre piece is astounding. Sculptural and voluminous, the project was created by designers Brandon Clifford and Wes McGee of matterdesign to demonstrate their range of skills and talent regarding interior architecture. Made out of hefty Baltic birch plywood, this [vaulted masterpiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serpentine-bell) is quite permanent and immovable, yet looks as though it weighs next to nothing with a [lace-like detailing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cs-somme-cafe) and a multitude of [geometric cutouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-facade-house). It stretches across the ceiling like a spiderweb would fit between branches of a tree, arching elegantly and masterfully. The La Voute de Le Fevre design seems to defy the laws of physics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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's Driving This Trend - **Sculptural Interior Architecture:** The trend of sculptural interior architecture presents an opportunity for designers to create unique and visually striking spaces. - **Lace-like Design Elements:** Integrating lace-like detailing in architectural designs opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for creating lightweight and ethereal structures. - **Geometric Cutouts in Architecture:** The use of geometric cutouts in architectural designs allows for the creation of visually interesting patterns and enhances the play of light and shadow. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can incorporate sculptural and lace-like elements in their projects to create unique and captivating spaces. - **Construction:** The construction industry can explore the use of lightweight materials and innovative cutout designs to construct visually stunning and structurally sound buildings. - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers can draw inspiration from lace-like detailing and geometric cutouts to create visually intricate and beautiful pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ceramic Vault Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muqarnas-pavilion.md) - [Vaulted Pink Complexes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babel-housing-mexico.md) - [Sculptural Contemporary Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volant.md) - [Energy-Saving Artistically Contoured Ceilings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contoured-ceiling.md) - [Vaulted Structural Telescopic Treehouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistree-home.md) - [Timber-Framed Angular Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-escapade.md) - [Self-Shaping Timber Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-flax-pavilion.md) - [Scenic Architecture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-inspired-table-lamp.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md)
