# Fossil-Engraved Parquet Tiles Studio Job's 'Wood' Collection Includes Nature-Inspired Imprints By Joey Haar | Published 2016-09-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-collection References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2016/09/23/studio-job-fossils-flooring-parquet-collection-bisazza-london-design-festival/) & [studiojob.be](http://www.studiojob.be/) Parquet courts are a classic, magisterial flooring option, but the Wood collection from Belgian designers at [Studio Job](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grounded-exhibtion) brings the parquet even further into the past by decorating one of the designs in the series with engravings of prehistoric fossils. The Wood collection was designed for [Bisazza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qapital-tower), an Italian mosaic brand and it is the brand's first line of wood products. The fossil engravings in the Wood collection include a frog, a turtle, a dodo-like bird and insects. There are other, more traditional [parquet patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-newstalgia) in the series as well. However, even in these standard designs, Studio Job's use of color adds a touch of modern playfulness where a more stuffy herringbone, brick, or basket design would leave something to be desired. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nature-inspired Flooring:** Exploring more fossil-inspired designs and other natural elements as a source for unique, high-end flooring options. - **Modernizing Classic Designs:** Injecting playful or unexpected design elements into tried-and-true flooring patterns to appeal to younger, design-savvy consumers. - **Artistic Collaborations:** Partnering with artists and designers to create limited edition or one-of-a-kind flooring products that serve as functional art in a space. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Offering clients more unique and playful flooring options to differentiate themselves from competitors and appeal to a younger demographic. - **Luxury Home Building:** Incorporating high-end and artistic flooring choices into custom-built homes aimed at affluent clientele. - **High-end Retail:** Using one-of-a-kind or limited edition flooring products to create a luxurious and exclusive atmosphere in store. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Wood Flooring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kaleidoscope-collection.md) - [Reimagined Monolithic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossil-furniture.md) - [Stone Offcut Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvatori-precioso.md) - [Ancestral Pattern Woodcraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-cloth-project.md) - [Heritage-Informed White Oak Flooring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-hardwood.md) - [Versatile Remolded Linoleum Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaxwood.md) - [Sculpted Pattern Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osso-bottone.md) - [Architectural Ceramic Surfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nesting-room.md) - [Naturalistic Mosaic Design Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaic-wall-tiles.md)
