Forgoing the popularity of wood right now, the Mesh Series focuses on [metal materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facet-collection), yet introduces a youthful vibe to its otherwise stiff look by way of a mesh technique. Designed by Horgan Becket, the Mesh Series embodies an entirely playful attitude not only because of its net-like leg supports, but also because of its [bright, pastel colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnus-olesen). Debuted during the Architectural Digest Home Show, it most certainly offered a breath of fresh air when compared to the other designs exhibited. Comprised of a table, bench and lighting, the Mesh Series takes on a rather [minimalist existence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-series) despite its unique features. This creates a balance that makes the Mesh Series suitable for almost any home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Metal Mesh Furniture:** There is an opportunity for companies to incorporate metal mesh materials in furniture design to create a unique and modern aesthetic. - **Youthful Industrial Design:** Companies can explore using bright, pastel colors and playful net-like leg supports to add a youthful twist to industrial design. - **Minimalist Home Accessories:** Producing minimalist home accessories, like tables, benches, and lighting, can appeal to customers who value simplicity and functionality in their homes. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture companies can incorporate metal mesh and bright pastel colors into their designs to create a unique, refreshing product line. - **Industrial Design:** Industrial designers can experiment with mesh techniques and pastel colors to create youthful and playful products, breathing new life into the industry. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can add minimalist furniture and accessories to their product line, catering to customers seeking simplicity and functionality in their home aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wire-Accented Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/line-series-furniture.md) - [Reworked Steel Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barred-collection.md) - [Human Form-Inspired Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tube-collection.md) - [Wireframed-Based Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lines-series.md) - [Outdoor-Ready Structural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-collection-1.md) - [Wooden Textural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corrugated-furniture.md) - [Sheet Metal Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen.md) - [NYC-Inspired Steel Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-block.md) - [Material-Exploring Metal Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facet-collection.md)
