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.
