Ever get the feeling that the cosmic design universe is trying to tell you something? Part of my job(s) is picking up on trends, checking out the “market”, feeling “the pulse”, etc… and I think most creative types do that subconsciously by nature. However, this is something different. I don’t necessarily think this is a “trend”, as clusters of circles is nothing new. It was more like a “why am I being drawn to these things?” kind of thing.
First, it really started with a trip to Pier 1, where I spotted this nice circle clustered pillow. I really love the textures and the graphic element of the clustered different sized circles. Then, I happened into Anthropologie, and immediately noticed this great wall display of these dried pods- which reminded me of classic C.Jere metal sculptures of the 60’s and 70’s- and more recently the ones that Wingard has–
And speaking of Anthropologie, Walmart has this sorta Anthropologie-esque bed set that also is a patchwork cluster of circles (now on clearance!)...
I’m not really sure if this is supposed to mean I’m supposed to do something with clusters of circles, but I can’t stop thinking about them. Are any of you guys stangely being drawn to some design theme too? (please let me know I’m not the only one!)
