# Dynamic Metal Furniture Bases The Dinamo Table by Juan Sebastian Jacobo Cortes Boasts Tension By Meghan Young | Published 2014-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinamo-table References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/Dinamo-Table/13280245) The Dinamo Table could easily be mistaken for a minimalist piece of furniture. Even though the [metal base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facet-collection) is full of side-stepping personality, it has an airy quality that helps maintain the overall simplicity of the design. Yet there is a tension between both the base and the tabletop that the designer essentially describes as confrontational. It is this tension that really hooks people in. Designed by Juan Sebastian Jacobo Cortes, an industrial designer currently pursuing a Master in Industrial Design at [Pratt Institute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-lamp) in Brooklyn, New York, the Dinamo Table is an experimentation of [axes and negative space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table). While the Dinamo Table is smooth and uninterrupted up top, the bottom is a whole other story. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dynamic Metal Furniture:** Designing more dynamic and confrontational metal furniture pieces could lead to a surge in minimalist home décor trends - **Airy Furniture Bases:** Continuing to create furniture that maintains an overall simplicity while boasting airiness and tension could lead to increased demand for unique furniture designs - **Experimental Design:** Continuing to experiment with axes and negative space in furniture design could lead to innovative pieces that stand out in the market ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers could benefit from incorporating dynamic metal bases into their product lines - **Industrial Design:** Programs and institutions that specialize in industrial design could see higher enrollment as more designers seek to create experimental and innovative pieces - **Home Decor:** Home décor stores could benefit from offering dynamic metal-based furniture pieces that appeal to a minimalist aesthetic ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Impactful Industrial Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/to-steel-side-table.md) - [Fabric-Like Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tablecloth-side-table.md) - [Elegant Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-table.md) - [Terrazzo Side Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-side-table.md) - [Skeletal Industrial Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/landr-dining-and-conference-table.md) - [Bent Steel Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creu-coffee-table.md) - [Juxtaposing Material Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compression-dining-table.md) - [Wavy Sculptural Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-coffee-tables.md) - [Industrial All-Metal Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockwerk-coffee-table.md)
