Trendspotter: Pixel-themed decors

A blurry source of eye-strain to most is a cheeky blend of style and technology to others: pixelation is fast becoming the pattern of the moment. A line of T-shirts is being marketed to US teens with unreadable pixelated slogans that play on the ever-present censorship of profane clothing on reality television shows while British designer Cristian Zuzunaga has followed the trend to create multicoloured pixel-fashion that blasts geometric squares all over jackets, scarves, and shopping bags. He has, however, also been inspired to take the blocky decoration into the field of decor by releasing a sofa and a series of chairs with upholstery patterns that look like digital images at a maximum level of zoom.

Also praising the pixel is Korean designer Joongho Choi, who has taken a more tangible approach and built a table out of small evenly sized cubes. Choi’s aptly titled “Pixable” allows the cubes to jut out in odd clusters and he even leaves a few cubes missing to reproduce the seemingly random configuration of a pixelated image.
