It boasts a [minimal design language](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silos-collection) and appears to also be able to function as a stool as well. The [solid wooden table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boia) is inspired by the Swiss Alps lifestyle and it taps into Joana's own experience living in Switzerland, which is also where the studio is located as well. It has a low-slung design and comes in the option of ash wood or oak. Joana speaks about the design, noting that “The possibility of [self-assembly makes it playful](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1). Sustainable materials and carefully chosen wood are combined with a contemporary design. The Bündner collection brings together quality materials, craftsmanship, and durability. Due to the characteristics of solid wood, each piece is unique.” Image Credit: Joana Vilaça Studio ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Self-assembly Furniture:** Designing furniture with self-assembly capabilities could disrupt the traditional furniture manufacturing industry. - **Sustainable Materials:** The use of sustainable materials could disrupt industries that rely heavily on non-renewable resources, such as the furniture industry. - **Minimalist Design:** The trend towards minimalist design could create opportunities for designers and manufacturers to create furniture with both form and function in mind. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Self-assembly capabilities and sustainable material choices could disrupt the traditional furniture manufacturing industry. - **Home Decor:** Designs that incorporate minimalist design and sustainable materials could appeal to the growing market of conscious consumers in the home decor industry. - **Woodworking:** Incorporating sustainable materials and minimalist design concepts could create new opportunities for woodworking businesses looking to stay relevant in a changing market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simplistic Wooden Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nuo.md) - [Modular Flat-Pack Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-side-table.md) - [Chic Sustainable Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-side-table.md) - [Dynamic Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-side-table.md) - [Collapsible Flatpack Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edo-side-table.md) - [Architect-Inspired Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norm-architects1.md) - [Sustainable Side Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-up-side-tables.md) - [Textile-Topped Table Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumble-tables.md) - [Brutalist Multifunctional Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyeonil-jeong.md)
