The exhibit features 30 artists and is designed to explore "the evolution of interior and exterior environments." The artists have essentially created [provocative installations from everyday household furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residence-exhibition) or items. I particularly love the [roller coaster-resembling bed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedroom-furniture) by Los Carpinteros. It looks like it would be such a blast to have a slumber party on, or even just to roll around in for a while. The New Decor looks like a fascinating exhibition. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Furniture:** Artists are exploring new interactive forms of furniture and design that encourage playful engagement with the environment. - **Re-purposed Materials:** Artists and designers are creatively re-purposing everyday household items as a medium for thought-provoking installations and design. - **Experiential Design:** Designers are focusing on creating immersive and engaging environments that stimulate the senses and encourage exploration. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** There is an opportunity for furniture manufacturers to incorporate interactive and playful features into their products. - **Art Exhibitions:** Art exhibitions can explore new forms of interactive and experiential design to engage visitors and foster creativity. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can draw inspiration from this trend to create imaginative spaces that encourage exploration and playfulness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Joint Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-sit-for-the-alternate-ending.md) - [Playful Furniture Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-furniture-exhibit.md) - [American Art Furniture Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-art-furniture.md) - [Modern Playground-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coarse-collection.md) - [Whimsically Vibrant Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama.md) - [Material-Accented Dreamscape Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamscape-exhibit.md) - [Playfully Bright Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-is-gonna-be-alright.md) - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md)
