In layman's terms, tessellation is a collection of shapes that meld together seamlessly like honeycombs, creating a [beautiful mosaic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osso-bottone), so to speak. Chilean design studio gt2P used an algorithm to determine the inner subdivisions of the Twin Shelves so that they form [tessellations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tess-pavilion). The result is uniquely beautiful. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 52% | 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 - **Organic Furniture:** Designing furniture inspired by organic shapes and tessellation patterns can create unique and aesthetically pleasing pieces. - **Algorithmic Design:** Using algorithms to determine the inner subdivisions of furniture can lead to innovative and intricate designs. - **Seamless Mosaic:** Creating furniture that seamlessly melds different shapes together, similar to a honeycomb, can result in visually stunning pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can explore incorporating organic shapes and algorithmic design to create modern and visually appealing furniture pieces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate furniture with seamless mosaic patterns to add a unique and artistic touch to any space. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can market furniture with organic shapes and tessellation patterns to appeal to consumers looking for unique and aesthetically pleasing pieces for their homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simple Assembly Sustainable Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/svolta.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Jigsaw Puzzle-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf.md) - [Modular Organized Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unit-shelving-system.md) - [Modular Contemporary Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv.md) - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Sculptural Bookshelves Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-bookshelf.md) - [Video Game-Like Bookcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetris-bookcase.md) - [Modular Grid-Style Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bend-shelf-by-spenser-atlas.md)
