# Gradient Glass Furniture Dum Office's Beech Table Seems Inspired by Tie-Dye By Meghan Young | Published 2011-07-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beech-table References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2011/06/28/beech-furniture-collection-by-dum.php) & [dumoffice](http://www.dumoffice.com/dum.html) The Beech table seems inspired by the tie-dye theme that is slowing welcomed back by the fashion industry. Of course, I'm not referring to the psychedelic mess of colors that passed as tie-dye in the 70s. Instead, I'm referring to the [gradual, gradient style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never-stop-moving) that is the modern take on such a retro technique. Designed by Dum Office, which is based in Amsterdam, the Beech table is part of a bigger collection comprised of [bended wood chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silva-collection) that complement this customizable table. Essentially, the Beech table is an oversized three-legged trestle that can feature a different tabletop depending on personal style and taste. This unique [purple gradient coating on glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-iced-table) really stands out, creating a spectacular conversation piece that's also functional. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Gradient Glass Furniture:** There is a growing trend of using gradient style and glass material in furniture design. - **Customizable Tables:** Customizable tables are becoming popular, allowing individuals to choose different tabletop designs. - **Retro-inspired Design:** Retro-inspired designs, such as the tie-dye theme, are making a comeback in modern furniture and fashion. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can explore the use of gradient glass materials to create unique and customizable products. - **Home Decor:** In the home decor industry, there is an opportunity to offer customizable tables with retro-inspired designs. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can adopt retro-inspired designs like tie-dye in their clothing and accessories to cater to the growing trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy-Inspired Cylindrical Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-table.md) - [Blurred Bold Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blur-coffee-table.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md) - [Minimalist Gradient Glass Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-desk.md) - [Sunset-Inspired Printed Glass Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-collection.md) - [Modern Customizable Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-design.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md) - [Mid Century-Inspired Plywood Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poole-tables.md) - [Dynamic Coffee Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryb-coffee-table.md)
