# Striped Stoned Furniture The Barcode Table is a Classic Interpretation of Hi-Tech Patterns By Meghan Young | Published 2012-03-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barcode-table References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/006176.html) & [draenert.de](http://www.draenert.de/) The Barcode Table embraces the 21st century in a classic way. Made out of [stone and metal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barred-collection), it looks like a traditional piece of furniture that would have existed in ancient Rome. Its striped monochromatic pattern, however, belies its true nature. As its name directly relays, the Barcode Table is inspired by the optical machine-readable representation of data used in retail. Designed by Draenert Hakakian Tariki, the Barcode Table would become the [focal point of any dining room](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silos-collection). Simplistically bold, its striped pattern would also complement just about any existing interior design. Great for the environmentally conscious, the Barcode Table is completely recyclable due to the [natural materials used to build it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-collection). It is the combination of 200 different stone types. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 62% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Striped Stoned Furniture:** Opportunity to create modern furniture with traditional look and nature-inspired design for eco-conscious consumers. - **Barcode-inspired Design:** Innovative product design that blends modern technology with ancient inspiration for unique consumer products. - **Recyclable Materials:** Opportunity to create sustainable products with natural materials to attract environmentally-conscious consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity to introduce natural materials and eco-friendly designs for modern furniture manufacturing. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity to incorporate traditional designs with modern technology-inspired furniture for residential and commercial spaces. - **Retail Industry:** Opportunity to introduce innovative, barcode-inspired designs for products in the retail industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optically-Designed Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigma-coffee-tables.md) - [Raw Stone-Inspired Jagged Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fels-coffee-table.md) - [Dynamic Strong Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-table.md) - [Industrial Strength Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intra-side-table.md) - [Statuesque Marble Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mawe-low-coffee-table.md) - [Rustic Recycled Wood Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primitive-structures-table-design.md) - [Geologically Fluid Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-geology-table-collection.md) - [Artful Stone Table Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-black.md) - [Sophisticated Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-table.md)
