# Sound Waves As Design Storyline Shelf Means "Bliss" By Going Like Sixty | Published 2007-11-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundwave-bookshelf References: [gnr8.biz](http://www.gnr8.biz/product_info.php?products_id=658) This shelf represents "bliss," not through its design alone, but in meaning as well. "By first processing a word into soundwaves, the physical shape is then mirrored in [powder-coated steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf), using an explicit folding technique." The shape is of the [audio waves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frequency-20) for the spoken word "bliss." The shelves are designed by Frederik Roije, and can be made to represent a range of words. It's also an elegant and meaningful way store books or show off your most precious possessions. Each Storyline shelf retails for $320. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 33% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Soundwave Art:** Using sound waves to inspire and create unique artistic designs, opening up opportunities for personalized and meaningful home decor. - **Expressive Furniture:** Creating furniture pieces that go beyond functionality and aesthetics to convey emotions and personal narratives, leading to innovative and immersive interior design experiences. - **Personalized Home Accessories:** Customizable home accessories that allow individuals to personalize their living spaces with words or phrases that hold personal significance, creating a deeper connection with their environment. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Using sound wave technology as a medium for artistic expression, enabling artists to create unique and personalized artwork. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Incorporating sound wave-inspired designs into furniture manufacturing process to produce distinctive and emotionally engaging pieces. - **Interior Design:** Integrating sound wave-inspired shelving and home accessories into interior design projects, offering clients unique and personalized ways to enhance their living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [Dynamic Storage-Display Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life.md) - [Landscape-Inspired Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waves-and-sun-bookends.md) - [L-Shaped Stacked Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loft-shelf.md) - [Clock-Accented Shelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-shelf.md) - [Minimalist Bookish Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-bookshelf.md) - [Twisting Donut-Shaped Bookshelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hullabaloo-bookshelf.md) - [Dynamic Architecturally Strong Bookshelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogma.md) - [Sound-Celebrating Listening Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usm-modular-furniture.md)
