@dbr Doesn't say, I've wondered! My guess was stacked MDF.

Not my call.
Personally, I see it as an escapist preoccupation of affluent, presumably neurotic, predominantly white people. Myself including to some extent.
John Pawson, Soft-Minimalism patient zero said something along the lines of
"I embraced minimalism as I tried to forget all the things I have had".
Call me a bigot, but 'the simple life' gist of much of this, say, an 8k Pierre Chapo stool or rustic stoneware from Bonhams, I find as crass, more cynical even, than golden basins.
Since imo this somehow stems from the predicament of the tastemakers/clients,
Interiors you see on Insta or AD, I find it's unrelatable or non-inclusive, as San Rocco put it. Society of the spectacle by Debord is imo pretty much on point, and was alluded by SR above.
I liked what Gae Aulenti said:
"Sometimes people speak about reality as if a field effectively
existed where it is expressed. Instead realities are infinite..." Here
and elsewhere in the interview, Aulenti seemed to be saying that when
one introduces a piece of design or a piece of architecture, not only
is the "reality" of the designer or architect not of utmost
importance, but the creation will be received by endless
sensibilities.
