They have started to make a name for themselves through their modern pieces of furniture, which interestingly juxtaposes materials for unique outcomes. From [minimalist coffee tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trama-collection) with a [knitted undercarriage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lesire-collection) fit for magazine, remote controls and more to floor lamps that mix and match wood with aluminum, LaSelva Studio's creations are striking. Fit for modern homes looking for character or traditional homes in need for contemporary touches, the products by LaSelva Studio will appeal to many. Specializing in furniture and lighting, there is a common quirkiness between each design that appears to be part of their signature style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Material-juxtaposed Furniture:** The trend of combining disparate materials in furniture design offers an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home decor industry. - **Quirky Home Accessories:** The trend of incorporating unique and unconventional elements into home accessories presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the interior design industry. - **Mixing Traditional and Contemporary Styles:** The trend of blending traditional and contemporary design elements in furniture and lighting creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home furnishing industry. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can benefit from embracing the trend of material-juxtaposed furniture and exploring innovative ways to combine different materials. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can seize the trend of quirky home accessories to create novel and eye-catching products that cater to modern consumers. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can capitalize on the trend of mixing traditional and contemporary styles to offer unique and personalized design solutions for clients who seek an eclectic aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Structural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma-collection.md) - [Explorative Material Artful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yucca-stuff.md) - [Artful Structural Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/five-pieces-collection-no-1.md) - [Elegant Tonal Table Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silos-collection.md) - [Juxtaposing Material Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junya-igashami.md) - [Unique Burl-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/don-heston-studio.md) - [Material-Exploring Industrial-Style Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrialstyle-lighting.md) - [Metal-Inspired Homeware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kutarq-studio.md) - [Delicate Modern Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-lehn.md)
