The following is probably my favorite image here. Can’t help but it looks like a sample board and reminds me of candy at the same time.

I am currently working on a trend I am naming BIOMIMICS and stumbled upon her work. It totally fits into the topic. We have been seeing resin and acrylic furniture for a while; who hasn’t admired Bleu Nature at the Maison&Objet during the past years?

What I like here very much are the pattens of woven natural fibers emerging from the milky finishing, it gives it a look&feel of Nature meets Lab and makes it softer without taking away a light futuristic feel.
