# Platonically Pure Furniture The Line, The Arch, The Circle and The Square Exhibit is Geometric By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-line-the-arch-the-circle-and-the-square References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1670143/a-platonically-pure-furniture-line-from-ron-gilad) & [rongilad](http://www.rongilad.com/) The Line, The Arch, The Circle and The Square is the name of a solo exhibition that will be exploring those very same geometrical terms through the [design of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solis-collection). A platonically pure line created by Ron Gilad, an artist born in Tel Aviv and based in New York City, these elementary shapes particularly address concepts such as the 'Birth of a Chair' among others. Debuting at the Dilmos gallery during design week in Milan, The Line, The Arch, The Circle and The Square solo exhibition revolves around this [geometric motif](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altherr-dsile-park) through the use of spare lines and simple shapes that are employed in rather quirky ways. For instance, a rolled out carpet graces the front of a tiny mouse hole while a giant hand mirror rests against a wall. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 31% | 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's Driving This Trend - **Geometric Design:** Exploring elementary shapes in furniture design with concepts such as the 'Birth of a Chair'. - **Minimalist Furniture:** Employment of simple shapes and spare lines in quirky and unconventional ways. - **Functional Art:** Integrating art and design to create exhibit pieces that serve both aesthetic and practical purposes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** Innovation opportunities to explore minimalism and geometry into furniture design. - **Art Exhibition:** Expanding upon functional art exhibitions that showcase unconventional design concepts. - **Interior Design:** Use of geometric furniture in minimalistic designs, to create aesthetically pleasing yet functional home and office spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-exhibition.md) - [Simplistic Line-Formed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-furniture.md) - [Playfully Bright Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-is-gonna-be-alright.md) - [Curved Minimal Chair Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-reappropriation.md) - [Single Material Minimal Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xxx.md) - [Dynamic Joint Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-sit-for-the-alternate-ending.md) - [Minimal Geometric Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/euclid-chair.md) - [Sensory-Focused Furniture Design Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-signature.md) - [Playful Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co.md)
