Mankind۪s desire to enhance his environment dates back to cave paintings at Lascaux. The recent trend towards adding decorative elements to one۪s space is perhaps a backlash to the minimalist white walls of the new millennium. Today the trend in 2006 is d̩cor, which embraces wallpaper, embellishments, and other decorative elements onto once bare white walls. With the phenomenal success of Tord Boontje۪s laser cut garland light shade, a trend towards silhouettes of botanicals and other organic elements has been on the rise. Loop.pH, a London based company has fused technology with organic silhouettes similar to Boontje۪s.
