# Green Rainforest Tables Amazonas By Ayman | Published 2008-04-02 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazonas References: [treehugger](http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/03/eero-koivistos-rainforest-table.php) & [stylepark](http://www.stylepark.com/ru/offecct/amazonas) These tables are really green. From the concept inception, to the color and design, to money going to help rainforests. The concept of the **Amazonas** table series originated when Finnish designer **Eero Koivisto** saw aerial images of the rain forest where tree crowns created a dense ceiling - so many trees forming a whole. Accordingly, he set out to create a table with the same effect. Actually several such tables that could be combined to form a cluster. Amazonas is a small, highly functional table that can be used individually or several can be combined for a bigger table. Each set consists of three tables in [three different shades of green](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never-stop-moving), and can be arranged so they partly overlap. The table's irregularly placed five legs give it an [artsy sculpture look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-coffee-tables). The idea of the legs comes from tree trunks in the rain forest, which grow in random directions. Koivisto describes the process, "when I was creating Amazonas I was thinking a lot about environmental issues. As a designer, one can try to create an [environmentally sustainable product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosana-sousa) that people don't want to throw away. That is why Amazonas is a mono-material - in this case steel - that is 100 per cent recyclable." About 10 Euros are donated to the Swedish NGO [Children's Rainforest](http://www.barnens-regnskog.net/index_e.htm) for each sold set. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Green Rainforest Tables:** Creating environmentally sustainable products using recyclable materials. - **Combining Tables for a Cluster:** Creating modular tables that can be arranged and combined for larger surfaces. - **Irregularly Placed Legs:** Taking inspiration from natural elements like tree trunks to create unique table designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity to develop and produce eco-friendly furniture using recyclable materials. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to offer customers modular table options for versatile and customizable home decor solutions. - **Environmental Conservation:** Opportunity to support environmental NGOs through the sales of sustainable products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indigenous Amazonian-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ibuju.md) - [Planet-Conscious Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn.md) - [Topographical Recycled Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-coffee-tables.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md) - [Acrylic Multicolor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-side-tables.md) - [Textile-Topped Table Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumble-tables.md) - [Geometrically Informed Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-table1.md) - [Cloud-Inspired Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-tables1.md) - [Island-Inspired Wooden Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-table.md)
