# Parametric Tress Tables The Abstract Side Table Features of Leg of Spiderweb Scaffolding By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-02-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-side-table References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2015/02/Kreatur-02.html) & [bouw.at](http://bouw.at/kreatur02/) There's a very engaging blend of styles occurring in this abstract side table that seem quite contrasting. The BOUW! design studio of Vienna has assembled a standard piece off furniture from rudimentary construction materials; however, a noticeable part of the structure is really very elaborate. [Builders' wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barricane-tables) was pieced together roughly to form a [stable coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-table) with bit of a haphazard appearance. Three of the legs are made from timber two-by-fours, but the third is something very different. Thin and short picks of spruce were meticulously fabricated into a complex trellis of trusses that lacks symmetry. It's this element that renders this item as such an abstract side table, making it a true conversation piece in any room. It's got such an eclectic composition that it would be difficult to integrate it with most common interior styles. Where would you place it? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Abstract Furniture:** Opportunity for designers to combine contrasting styles and create eclectic compositions. - **Parametric Design:** Innovative approach to using rudimentary construction materials for furniture design. - **Asymmetrical Structures:** Trend towards unique and intricate structural elements in furniture design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for companies to explore new and unconventional materials and design elements for furniture production. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate abstract and eclectic furniture pieces. - **Architecture:** Opportunity for architects to incorporate parametric design principles into furniture pieces as well as building design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Perplexingly Angular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadashi-side-table.md) - [Intersecting Two-Part Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaolin-side-table.md) - [Industrial Strength Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intra-side-table.md) - [Abstract Triangular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-side-table.md) - [Artistic Juxtaposed Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koroi-side-table.md) - [Asymmetrical Storage Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossbred-side-table.md) - [Expertly Woven Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicker-side-table.md) - [Playful Accent Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table.md)
