# Tin-Capped Tables The Coccola Side Table Has a Solid Metal Lid and Soft Lumber Legs By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-02-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coccola-side-table References: [blog.leibal](http://blog.leibal.com/furniture/coccola-side-table/) & [daviddesign.se](http://daviddesign.se/products.html) Albeit very different materials, the aluminum of the top and the timber of the supports of the Coccola Side Table do complement each other quite well. The piece embodies a harmonious expression of more traditional and industrial designs in one coherent minimalist object. Luca Nichetto employed a special [sand-casting technique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ria-coffee) to mold the heavy surface of the furnishing. The David Design product has been given a bit of a raised rim so that it can function as a fixed platter on stilts. Gorgeous [pale oak wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boia) was whittled down into three [cylindrical dowels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-table), each with a slight crook at one end. Here, the legs attach to the Coccola Side Table and guarantee the stability of the contemporary piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aluminum-timber Combinations:** The use of aluminum and timber in furniture design allows for a harmonious blend of traditional and industrial aesthetics. - **Minimalist Industrial Design:** The Coccola Side Table exemplifies a minimalist approach to industrial design, creating a coherent and visually appealing object. - **Special Sand-casting Technique:** The sand-casting technique employed by Luca Nichetto in creating the Coccola Side Table presents an opportunity for innovative furniture manufacturing processes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The Coccola Side Table showcases the potential for innovative designs in the furniture industry by combining different materials and aesthetics. - **Home Decor:** The minimalist and contemporary design of the Coccola Side Table opens up possibilities for disruptive innovations in the home decor industry. - **Manufacturing:** The special sand-casting technique used in creating the Coccola Side Table presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the manufacturing sector for unique and custom-designed furniture products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raw Cast-Bronze Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corca-side-table.md) - [Perplexingly Angular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadashi-side-table.md) - [Shimmering Oceanic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-table.md) - [Elegant Tonal Table Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silos-collection.md) - [Impactful Industrial Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/to-steel-side-table.md) - [Terrazzo Side Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-side-table.md) - [Paper-Like Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoon-coffee-table.md) - [Artistic Juxtaposed Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koroi-side-table.md) - [Industrial Floating Bedside Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tu-bedside-table.md)
