# Purposely Broken Entranceways The Shattered Door by Leandro Erlich is an Illusionary Wonder By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-09-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shattered-door References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/rough-framed-door-art-deconstruction-of-wood/) & [re-title](http://re-title.com/artists/Leandro-Erlich.asp) Do you want to do the opposite of deterring a thief? Do you essentially want to invite one in? Get yourself a shattered door! The shattered door is a visually mystifying piece of art by Leandro Erlich. It incorporates a full-sized wooden door and then deconstructs it to where it appears to be shattered. At that point the piece is then mounted inside a fully-formed door frame. Amazingly, the piece looks quite functional, but undoubtedly would make the worst door ever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Illusionary Art:** Opportunity for artists to create visually mystifying pieces that challenge perception. - **Functional Deconstruction:** Potential for designers to deconstruct functional objects to create visually intriguing installations. - **Disruptive Aesthetics:** Emerging trend of intentionally shattered and broken designs that challenge traditional notions of beauty and functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore the boundaries of perception and aesthetics. - **Interior Design:** Demand for unconventional and visually striking installations that challenge expectations of functional design. - **Museum and Gallery:** Opportunity for museums and galleries to showcase unconventional artworks that engage viewers through optical illusions and deconstruction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illusory Doorway Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panis-mirror.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Warped Georgian Townhouse Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-week-at-the-knees.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Kinetic Optical Illusion Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-woodflow.md) - [Monochromatic Sculptural Gateways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-gateway.md) - [Upcycled Object Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Brain-Like Labyrinths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brash-collective.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md)
