If all [burnt furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness) ended up looking like the pieces in this line. First of all, the design of each piece is gorgeously [baroque](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-chrome-reflections). The timeless aesthetic is made modern with its [unique finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-collections). Designed by Ukranian designer Yarsolav Galant, the Born 2B Burn collection "is exposed to short-term extreme heat (nearly 2000F!) which carbonizes the surface without damaging the core," according to My Modern Met. It is then infused with a special substance called epioftonol, which was invented by Galant, that "fixes and strengthens the burnt surface through a crystallization process that can take anywhere from a week to a month." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 22% | 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 - **Charred Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring the use of extreme heat and carbonization techniques to create unique and modern furniture designs. - **Baroque Revival:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combining traditional baroque aesthetics with contemporary design to create visually striking furniture pieces. - **Surface Crystallization Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing new methods of fixing and strengthening burnt surfaces through innovative crystallization processes. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating charring and carbonization techniques into furniture manufacturing to introduce avant-garde designs. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilizing baroque revival furniture pieces to create unique and luxurious home decor collections. - **Materials Science:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Advancing surface crystallization technologies for applications in various industries, including furniture design and restoration. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant Woodturned Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodturned-furniture.md) - [Disaster-Striken New Furniture Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-perfect.md) - [Artful Wooden Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knowledge-of-all-dark-things.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Unique Burl-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/don-heston-studio.md) - [Indigenous Amazonian-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ibuju.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ash-furniture.md) - [Ancient Practice-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bidri-furniture.md) - [Felled Tree Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ptacek-home-chunk-line.md)
