Its recent 'Chroma Collection' celebrated artistic freedom and creative exploration. Through [eccentric painting methods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rixo-1) that involve free and controlled coloring, the rugs are made to look like [abstract art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talk-talk). The paint techniques also make the rugs look like canvases that have been splattered and smeared with paint. They are appropriate enough to display as a tapestry or on the floor. Yasmina Benazzou, the Global Design Director of Tai Ping, said she “wanted [this collection] to reconnect with the spontaneity and authenticity of handmade design, exploring the aesthetic of abstract painting without the influence of technology.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Abstract Visuals:** There is a trend towards using abstract visuals in various industries to create unique and vibrant designs. - **Creative Exploration:** A growing trend is the emphasis on creative exploration, allowing for artistic freedom and pushing the boundaries of traditional design. - **Handmade Design:** The demand for handmade design is on the rise, as consumers seek authenticity and a connection to the craftsmanship behind products. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** The use of abstract visuals in interior design can create visually striking and unique spaces that captivate and engage customers. - **Art Exhibitions:** Art exhibitions can benefit from the trend of creative exploration and abstract visuals, as it allows for innovative and thought-provoking displays. - **Home Decor:** The handmade design trend presents an opportunity for the home decor industry to offer products that are authentically crafted and provide a sense of individuality to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Season-Inspired Rug Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-rug-range.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md) - [Hand-Tufted Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floordrobe.md) - [Vibrantly Abstract Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstraction-collection.md) - [Artful Washable Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruggable-x-keith-haring.md) - [Artistic Gen Alpha Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moooi-carpets.md) - [Flower-Inspired Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espressionismo-floreale.md) - [Reimagined Tie Dye Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tie-dye-collection.md) - [Artful Various Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cctapis.md)
