The product is released under the firm's ultra-limited series — 'Truth to Materials.' The industrially influenced piece is dubbed the 'Meta Side Table' and for its aesthetic, New Tendency opted in for a clean-cut, simple silhouette that is strengthened by the inevitable harshness of the [untreated stainless steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facet-collection). With a focus on expert craftsmanship, the Bauhaus table is handmade. A subtle embellishment to the Meta Side Table is a sleek engraving. New Tendency used a laser to immortalize the words 'TRUTH TO MATERIALS' on the top, along with a logo designed by Michael Egger. The Bauhaus table is one of those pieces that can be inserted in any interior setting and one which effortlessly calls attention to itself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ultra-minimalist Furniture:** Opportunity for creating sleek and simple designs that appeal to minimalist aesthetics. - **Handmade Craftsmanship:** Potential for highlighting the value of artisanship in the manufacturing process. - **Industrial-influenced Design:** Possibility for incorporating industrial elements into contemporary furniture pieces. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for producing high-quality minimalist furniture pieces. - **Artisanal and Handcrafted Goods:** Potential for creating a market niche for handcrafted furniture with expert craftsmanship. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for incorporating industrial-inspired furniture to create visually striking interior spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial All-Metal Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockwerk-coffee-table.md) - [Industrial Strength Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intra-side-table.md) - [Asymmetrical Industrial Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mura-side-table.md) - [Bauhaus Era-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-1.md) - [Architect-Inspired Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norm-architects1.md) - [Sturdy Minimalist Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sturdy-minimalist-table.md) - [Minimalist Aluminum Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-furniture.md) - [Dynamic Strong Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-table.md) - [Extravagant Handcrafted Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-furniture.md)
