Designed by Kinnasand and Raf Simmons, the latter of whom is mostly known for being the Creative Director of Parisian fashion house Dior, many of the pieces were in fact inspired by art. Design Milk writes, "He brings a unique perspective to textiles because of his fashion background, so it only feels right to collaborate with a well-known and high-quality brand like Kvadrat." With this in mind, Luminaire Chicago is paving the way for a more cultured home filled with delightful colors and silhouettes that will bring to mind a livable gallery. Yet at the core of these pieces featured by Luminaire Chicago is a playful spirit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Soft Sculptural Furniture:** The trend towards soft and sculptural furniture pieces as an art form. - **Textile-fashion Collaborations:** The trend towards collaborations between textile and fashion designers to create artistic furniture pieces. - **Cultured Home Decor:** The trend towards incorporating curated and cultured home decor that reflects a playful spirit. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Opportunities for furniture designers to focus on creating more artistic, soft and textured designs that appeal to art lovers. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunities for textile manufacturers to collaborate with fashion designers to create unique fabric blends that can be used in furniture design. - **Home Decor Retail:** Opportunities for home decor retailers to showcase curated and cultured pieces that reflect a playful spirit to appeal to art and design enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Domestic Artful Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpted-series.md) - [Dynamic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-dixon-fat-and-plump.md) - [Inaugural Stylish Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-furniture-collection.md) - [Sculptural Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unform-studio.md) - [Ultra-Chic Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design.md) - [Sculptural Living Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cromatica.md) - [Customizable Lighting Retail Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luminaire-authentik.md) - [Modernist Artful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colendra.md) - [Hand-Crafted Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaia-1.md)
