Testing visual boundaries, this [perspective-themed art piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) made major waves at the Festival of Living Architecture in Montpellier, France. Keeping in tune with the design festival's theme of 'surprise,' the simplistic cube structure features multiple perspective views that change according to a viewers angle. The muted piece is constructed out of semi-transparent polycarbonate sheets and steel plumbing pipes. The Reframe art installation by Paul Scales and Atelier Kit showcases striking perspective views that vary from every angle of the impressive sculpture. Resembling a [three-dimensional optical illusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-marcelis-1), this complex structure was achieved with the use of simple materials and plenty of imagination. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Perspective-themed Art Installations:** Opportunities to create visually compelling art installations that change with the viewer's angle. - **Simplistic, Disruptive Design Materials:** Design innovations made with simple materials like semi-transparent polycarbonate sheets and steel plumbing pipes. - **Optical Illusion Structures:** The creation of complex, three-dimensional structures that resemble optical illusions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Innovating new ideas for creating visually-compelling art installations using unexpected materials. - **Architecture:** Exploring the use of simple materials and creative ideas to build complex, structurally-sound buildings. - **Innovation Consulting:** Providing guidance and support to companies looking to create groundbreaking designs and surprising experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Collaborative 3D Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reframe-installation.md) - [Artfully Rotating Glass Pillars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panorama.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Billowing Modular Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-cube.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Brain-Like Labyrinths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brash-collective.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md) - [Mirrored Hall Visual Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internamente.md)
