Trends often come from the runway, inspired from the clothing stomping down fashion week’s runways. But sometimes, technology inspires artists to break the fashion mold and look at art, and subversively, life– in a different way! Pixelated art is a clever and charming way to add colour, pattern and large scale oomph to your home. A bit tongue in cheek, a bit high street, we are seriously loving this block-y trend.

Pixelated installations can be works or art, or even sculpture or metalwork. This commercial has a beautiful gunmetal hued entry feature that would be at home in an industrial loft or home office! allowing blocks of light in a random pixel pattern is a simple but striking way to add life and pattern.
