Design studio Objects of Common Interest is based in both New York and Athens and its latest project highlights a new [iridescent resin material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hardware) that is used to create 13 captivating new objects. The series was presented at Nilafur Depot during Milan Design Week in the form of the Poikilos capsule. It features a range of furniture and homeware that highlight the distinct qualities of fine resin material.

It specifically ranges from [small bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-top-glass) all the way to a large dining table dynamic in color and translucency. Eleni Petaloti, one of the founders of the studio alongside partner Leonidas Trampoukis, speaks about the new series to [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects), explaining that "In every piece, you discover another characteristic of the material. The solid pieces are more milky, while the thinner pieces become almost transparent."
