Nick Olsen, over at Design Sponge recently named Brutalism an emerging trend and this is one I really love.Raw edges, rough textures, repeating geometric patterns - it is a trend that truly exemplifies all the beauty of handmade - the beauty of imperfection - the organic feel of this trend is so inspiring!
Here is what some Etsy peeps are doing:
1. Textured bowl from blueroompottery2. Distressed ring by tinahdee
3. Peeling paint photographs by stillmemory
4. Lava earrings by valkasinskas

6. Reed tunic by zelaya
7. Collage heart by RedorGrayArt

cat . this is a good thing..patterns and textures always..does unraveling count as this?
I tried to comment on your video but could not..wanted to say YOU were the star in my eyes..you did fine!!
I like the trend, rusty stuff, lots of geometrics etc...but not the name. I know it is a term from architecture (Brutalism n. An architectural style of the mid-20th century characterized by massive or monolithic forms) however to me it sounds violent.
Oooo, I love this! I like rusty and grungy and monolithic.
