# International Decor Designer Collaborations The NICHETTO=NENDO Collection Combines Sheer Talent By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-04-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nichettonendo References: [urdesign.it](http://www.urdesign.it/index.php/2013/04/04/nichettonendo-at-milan-design-week-2013/) & [lucanichetto](http://www.lucanichetto.com/) It's always an intesting endeavour when artists collaborate because the results are usually rather unexpected and the *[NICHETTO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-blown)=[NENDO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham)* collection is a perfect example of what can happen when two decor geniuses get together. Luca Nichetto and [Studio Nendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-1) are the masters behind this expertly curated collection of decor items that bend the lines of perception and give a nod to styles of the past. There aren't any strict lines at work within the *NICHETTO=NENDO* collection, which only adds to its ability to really establish the items as both beautiful and functional. From soft, round seating to optical trickery carpets, the *NICHETTO=NENDO* collection is the final product of a collaboration that blends eastern simplicity with the comfort of the west. The *NICHETTO=NENDO* collection will be on show from April 9th to the 14th at Foro Buonaparte 48 in Milan, Italy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Collaborative Decor Design:** Designers are collaborating on decor collections, resulting in unexpected and innovative pieces. - **Blurred Design Styles:** Decor collections are blurring the lines between eastern and western design styles. - **Functionality-driven Decor:** Decor collections are being designed with both beauty and functionality in mind. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Collaborative decor design opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the interior design industry. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Blurred design styles for decor collections present opportunities for disruptive innovation in the furniture manufacturing industry. - **Home Decor Retail:** The trend towards functionality-driven decor presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the home decor retail industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cultural Heritage-Themed Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-sees-kyoto.md) - [Form-Centric Artful Collaborative Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cicil-and-artish.md) - [Upcycled Object Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Ultra-Modern Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudo-20.md) - [Unconventional Statement Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-x-flos.md) - [Ultra-Chic Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design.md) - [Material-Blending Neutral Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-situ.md) - [Contemporary Collaborative Luxe Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ann-demeulemeesterserax.md) - [Collaborative Bathroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathroom-design2.md)
