If you are, you'll appreciate these Succession Shelves by Fredrik Farg. Part art and part practical furniture, these plushy pieces have an unexpected third agenda to soften hard corners with a cushioned coating.

Existing as animated objects with four legs and organic forms, these three shelving units are sure to grab attention in a room. Rivaling the comfy comportment of your leather couch, the Succession Shelves by Fredrik Farg redefine the norm of [rectilinear ledges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv). If you like these, you'll enjoy the stools and seats that match this set. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 2% | 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 - **Soft Interior Style:** The trend of incorporating cushioned coatings to soften hard corners in furniture design. - **Animated Objects:** The trend of creating furniture with organic forms and unique designs that grab attention in a room. - **Reimagined Rectilinear Ledges:** The trend of redefining the norm of rectangular shelves by introducing unconventional shapes and forms. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture designers to incorporate cushioned coatings for a softer and more comfortable interior style. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for interior designers to incorporate animated furniture pieces with unique shapes and forms to create eye-catching spaces. - **Home Decor Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for home decor retailers to offer reimagined rectilinear ledges that challenge traditional shelf designs and cater to customers seeking unconventional furniture choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Storage-Display Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life.md) - [Modular Configured Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet.md) - [Discreet Folding Shelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf.md) - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [Customizable Home Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebound-furniture-collection.md) - [Jigsaw Puzzle-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf.md) - [Work-Life Balance Shelving Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/criteria-shelf.md) - [Curvaceous Storage-Packed Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embrace-sideboard.md) - [Sandbox-Like Modular Storage Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-storage-cabinet1.md)
