Swedish design studio Smansk has created a rather unique way to modernize 18th century French furniture. While many designers are currently reproducing ornate Rococo shapes in new materials, Smansk is taking the original blueprints of Rococo pieces and rendering them in a low resolution, pixelized form. The overly ornate then becomes streamlined and modern. They call it Neo Rococo.

I think a more accurate description would be "simple polygonal modeling" rather than "pixelized form."

I agree with SR above. Simple polygonal modeling seems more accurate. Still, very interesting to look at. I have a friend who does 3d modeling and would love to see these I'll bet; gonna send him the link now. :)

Very creative furniture. Kind of reminds me of what lego furniture would look like, but interesting nonetheless.

Where are the beautiful curves... To be honest this looks like lego to me. All that is missing is is an ASIMO here

Interesting idea, reminds me of Lego. Looking at the pictures also puts me in mind of 1950's science fiction films. So I guess the concept isn't that new. Still great fun, I love it.

Is that picture real or a computer generated version? Anyways, cool furniture.

Interesting concept, maybe too angular for some tastes but I can certainly see the attraction.
1950's science fiction films, hmmm Robbie The Robot?
