# Retro-Futuristic Furniture Cubism Meets 1970's in This Collection by Hannes Grebin By Elsa Blaine | Published 2009-01-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-futuristic-furniture-cubism-meets-1970s-by-hannes-grebin References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2009/01/08/cozy-furniture-by-hannes-grebin/#more-23099) Hannes Grebin took furniture that he remembered from his home in the 1970's in Germany and clashed it with modern design to create this cubism-inspired collection. The grouping includes a sofa, chair, pendant light, and bureau finished in a retro-futuristic fashion. You have to love the past-meets-future details, like white doilies tenderly laid over the headrests, traditional gold and cream fabric and beige fringe dusting the floor. I swear we ripped out many lights that looked just like that when we moved into our late 1960’s bungalow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro-futuristic Design:** Opportunity for furniture designers to combine elements of the past and future to create unique and visually striking pieces. - **Cubism-inspired Furniture:** Chance for artists and designers to explore the cubist art movement and apply its principles to furniture design, resulting in abstract and geometric pieces. - **Nostalgic Aesthetics:** Potential for creating furniture collections that evoke nostalgia and sentimentality, resonating with consumers who long for a retro-futuristic aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture manufacturers to incorporate retro-futuristic and cubism-inspired designs into their product lines, appealing to a niche market. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate retro-futuristic furniture pieces into their projects, creating a bold and eclectic style for clients who appreciate unique designs. - **Art and Decor:** Chance for artists and decor companies to produce and market retro-futuristic and cubism-inspired furniture as decorative art pieces, catering to collectors and enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic 70s-Inspired Home Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gubi.md) - [Retro Colorful Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geometrica.md) - [Retro-Modern Dining Room Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patricia-urquiola-x-andreu-world-bolete.md) - [Retro Vibrant Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytillverkad.md) - [Futuristic Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dawn-collection.md) - [Retro-Themed Metallic Homeware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabanne-hm-home.md) - [Sustainable Chrome Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-collection.md) - [Playful Toy-Like Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frunchroom-furniture-collection.md) - [Crystalline Acrylic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel-flare-collection.md)
