These stunning paper cuts aim to exude a three-dimensional visual effect that tests human perception. Taking inspiration from crystalline shapes, these [layered collages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time) feature [geometric forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box) that create a strong sense of linear perspective. The quirky art pieces feature muted colors as backdrops while bright neons make up the intricately cut elements. These Laura Faurschou collages are a result of the designer's experimental tests that use three pieces of carefully cut paper forms that are layered atop one another. Known for her [modern furniture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co) and other industrial works, the designer has transitioned into the role of artist, ensuring her place as a heavy-hitter in the Copenhagen art scene. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Geometric Artistry:** Opportunities for artists and designers to experiment with cratfing complex geometric compositions that can trick the human eye. - **Modernist Collages:** Artistic pieces that create mesmerizing visuals with the use of traditional and technological design methods that can blurr the lines between art and media. - **Multidimensional Art:** Creating innovative, 3D collages that encourages engagement from viewers, and inspire utilitarian design from Artists and architects. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** This new type of geometric art opens avenues for new types of creativity that disrupt conventional media. - **Architecture and Interiors:** Designers and Architects can use this Neo-Modernist form of art as inspiration for the creation of new spaces that challenge conventional perceptions in design. - **Fashion and Apparel:** The captivating effect of these multidimensional pieces can be translated into creative pattern making and fashion design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Intersecting Dimensional Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorama.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md) - [Expansive Motion-Inspired Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forma-textile.md) - [Paper-Formed Premium Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastille.md) - [Artfully Liquid-Like Light Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp.md) - [Dynamic Colorful Glass Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilion-set.md)
