# Slatted Furniture Collections UnSolid by Mauro Del Santo is the Result of Mathematical Equations By Meghan Young | Published 2013-12-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsolid-by-mauro-del-santo References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2013/12/11/unsolid-by-mauro-del-santo/) & [un-solid.tumblr](http://un-solid.tumblr.com/) The ceiling light and wall partition that make up UnSolid by Mauro Del Santo, an industrial designer based in Rome, Italy, are visually striking. Both of them follow a slatted sort of design in which they are not completely, well, solid, hence the collection's name. Yet they aren't rigid either. Instead, the pieces adhere to a [fluid form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures) that gives them a [beautiful sculptural appeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightness-of-form). UnSolid by Mauro Del Santo was recently presented at the [Rome Maker Faire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rome-edition). The designs embraced mathematical computations and innovative wood manufacturing technologies. According to the designer, "Among major achievements a fast and economical technique of woodworking has been developed to build complex surfaces of large size.[...] An important result has been also achieved by the experimentations on computational processing for the development of outstanding morphologies." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Slatted Furniture:** The use of slatted designs in furniture can create visually striking pieces that are both fluid and sculptural. - **Mathematical Design:** Computational processing and innovative technologies can lead to the development of outstanding morphologies in design. - **Woodworking Innovation:** Fast and economical woodworking techniques can be developed to build complex surfaces of large size. ### Where This Applies - **Industrial Design:** Slatted designs and mathematical computations can be applied to a variety of industrial design fields. - **Furniture Design:** Innovative woodworking techniques can be applied to create unique and visually appealing furniture pieces. - **Interior Design:** Slatted designs and mathematical computations can be used to create visually striking pieces of furniture and room dividers for interior design projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unform-studio.md) - [Playful Structural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma-collection.md) - [Sculptural Lighting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unform-studios.md) - [Geometric Table Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solis-collection.md) - [Simplistic Wooden Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-slab-collection.md) - [Bold Sculptural Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-and-axis.md) - [Artful Structural Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/five-pieces-collection-no-1.md) - [Modular Glass Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modulo-collection.md) - [Multi-Functional Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sisto.md)
