Functional Art Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Splinter Works New Collection is Gallery Worthy

— January 14, 2011 — Art & Design
Splinter Works is blurring the line between art and furniture with their latest furniture release. The collection is made up of three limited edition pieces designed for all areas of the house.

Artsy furniture is often too artistic to be functional. Thankfully, that isn't the case here as all three pieces in Splinter Work's new collection could actually be used on a day-to-day basis around any home.

Implications - In a day and age where contemporary youth culture seems obsessed with sharing every part of our lives through pictures on social media, there is an increased importance placed on stylistic originality. Splinter Works does a great job of combining ingenuity with novelty and practicality. Your home will certainly stand out with furniture like this.
Trend Themes
1. Blurring the Line Between Art and Furniture - Splinter Works is pushing the boundaries of traditional furniture design by creating pieces that double as works of art.
2. Functional Art for the Home - Splinter Works' collection offers furniture that is not only visually stunning but also practical for everyday use in the home.
3. Stylistic Originality and Practicality - The demand for furniture that is both unique and functional is on the rise, presenting an opportunity for innovative designers to create pieces like Splinter Works' collection.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - The furniture design industry can leverage Splinter Works' approach to create pieces that are both visually striking and usable in everyday life.
2. Art and Interior Design - The art and interior design industry can adopt the concept of functional art furniture to create unique and eye-catching spaces.
3. Social Media and Home Decor - The increasing influence of social media on home decor trends opens up opportunities for furniture designers who can create pieces that are Instagram-worthy and functional.
