# Beastly Furniture The Bear Table by Daniel Lewis Garcia is Shaped Like the Furry Animal By Meghan Young | Published 2014-06-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bear-table References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/06/23/bear-table-by-daniel-lewis-garcia/) & [daniellewisgarcia.wix](http://daniellewisgarcia.wix.com/design) The Bear Table turns the fearsome furry beast into an [adorable piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table) that would delight both adults and children alike. Whether placed in a family home or not, it brings a touch of character in a surprisingly chic way. Not gaudy at all, the Bear Table boasts a [minimalist silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-table) that is abstractly animalistic. Designed by Daniel Lewis Garcia, the Bear Table was created using cnc technology and [maple plywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barricane-tables). The designer writes, "This process makes efficient use of plywood and a sculptural end product." Creating a hollowed design, the Bear Table can store items both on its table top surface as well as inside as though it were an open sideboard. This makes the table perfect for both living rooms and dining areas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Animal-inspired Furniture:** Designers can create more furniture designs inspired by animals, adding character to homes and furniture stores. - **Efficient Use of Plywood:** Incorporating efficient use of plywood using cnc technology can create sculptural and functional furniture designs. - **Dual-purpose Furniture:** Designers can explore creating furniture that serves both as a table and storage unit, adding value to small living spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can invest in cnc technology to produce creative and intricate designs made from plywood. - **Home Decor Retail:** Home decor retailers can add animal-inspired furniture to their selection for customers seeking unique and playful designs. - **Small Living Space Solutions:** Companies specializing in small living space solutions can incorporate multi-functional furniture designs into their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curvaceous Animalistic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookpet-coffee-table.md) - [Curvaceous Abstract Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-table.md) - [Aquatic Creature-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nessie-side-table.md) - [Wilderness-Inspired Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/habitat-collection.md) - [Solid Wooden Collaborative Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cul-de-sac-japon-x-karimoku-furniture.md) - [Island-Inspired Wooden Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-table.md) - [Sophisticated Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-table.md) - [Functional Furniture Cat Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donarturo-cuba-cat-house.md) - [Creature-Like Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octopus-center-table.md)
