# Scrap Metal Furniture Bevara Design House Creates Furnishings Out of Post-Industrial Waste By Meghan Young | Published 2011-02-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bevara-design-house References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/scrap-metal-tables-by-bevara-design-house/) & [bevaradesign](http://www.bevaradesign.com/) Bevara Design House is in the business of creating eco-friendly furniture pieces out of scrap metal. In fact, it specifically uses post-industrial waste from a factory that produces parts for tractors and NASCAR. Using these discarded materials, Bevara Design House fashions unique pieces of furniture from benches to tables and more. Although they range in color, shapes and sizes, I like how the common thread between each piece is the pattern of the metal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new manufacturing methods and materials to create sustainable and environmentally-friendly furniture. - **Upcycling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and repurpose discarded materials to create new and stylish furniture pieces. - **Circular Economy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create business models and systems that prioritize the reuse and recycling of materials, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Adopt sustainable practices and materials in the production of furniture, providing eco-friendly options to consumers. - **Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop efficient processes and technologies for upcycling post-industrial waste, reducing reliance on raw materials and minimizing environmental impact. - **Sustainable Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate principles of sustainable design into the creation of functional and aesthetically appealing furniture pieces, promoting a circular economy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Leftover Wood-Constructed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-lervik-1.md) - [Recycled Plastic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bristol-plastic-factory.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Recycled Dynamic Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair.md) - [Recycled Plastic Decor Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastplan-design-studio.md) - [Junkyard-Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junkyard-diving.md) - [Reused Skyscraper Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aged-form-line.md) - [Repurposed Electric Scooter Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emetabolism-collection.md) - [Eco-Friendly Scandinavian Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verk-furniture.md)
