Mae Engelgeer's collection is appropriately dubbed 'MATTER' and it entertains a seriously [mesmerizing aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection) with its "richly textured surfaces and added dimensionality." The collection divides itself into three subcategories of pattern — 'Mass,' 'Merge' and 'Points.' The designer used a blend of metallic yarn and wool fibers in the creation of the luxury textiles. In addition, the collection for Wolf-Gordon was developed by Mae Engelgeer in the TextielLab in The Netherlands. This offered the designer an opportunity to truly experiment with the aesthetic and functionality of the luxury textiles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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-driven Design:** Opportunity for designers to create luxury textiles that emphasize material use and texture. - **Pattern Innovation:** Opportunity to develop new patterns that add dimensionality and visual appeal to luxury textiles. - **Collaborative Design Spaces:** Opportunity to collaborate with specialized labs or studios to experiment with aesthetics and functionality in luxury textile creation. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Opportunity to incorporate high-performing luxury textiles in interior design projects for a premium aesthetic. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunity to utilize metallic yarn and wool fibers in the creation of luxury textiles for improved material performance. - **Creative Design Labs:** Opportunity to partner with designers and artists to develop and produce innovative luxury textiles in specialized labs or studios. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Pattern Luxe Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woolen-blanket.md) - [Woven Upholstery Textile Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elemental-wright.md) - [Handwoven Colorful Tapestries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versus-edition-one.md) - [Heritage Textile Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wren.md) - [Bold Performance Fabric Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unified-field-fabric.md) - [Statement Wall Covering Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-muro.md) - [Design-Forward Textile Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textile-collection.md) - [Layered Color Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekla-evelina-severin-and-layered.md) - [Material Dialogue Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agra-forma.md)
