This amazingly crafted coffee table was inspired by the 12th century temples at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. A magical place, Angkor Wat is the epitome of nature and forgotten architectural gems mixed together with deep jungle roots, branches and moss. Not as messy, but just as special, this eclectic coffee table will give any room it occupies history and culture. It will also set the mood for intellectual conversation about adventure travel and historic tribes and cultures. The [multiplex birch wood structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boia) is veneered in black dyed wood and has [one leg imitating a branch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carpentopod) which is veneered in oak. The Angkor Table Design Collection is designed by Paris-based Olivier Dollé. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Eclectic Coffee Tables:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing coffee tables inspired by unique historical and cultural elements to create conversation pieces in any room. - **Nature-inspired Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating furniture that integrates natural elements and architectural references to bring a touch of the outdoors into interior spaces. - **Adventure Travel Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing home decor items that evoke a sense of wanderlust and storytelling, ideal for those passionate about adventure travel. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redesigning traditional furniture pieces with unique inspirations and materials to create distinctive and conversation-starting designs. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring novel ways to incorporate elements from nature, history, and culture into interior design to create visually stunning and thought-provoking spaces. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering a range of decor items that cater to individuals seeking unique and immersive home environments, inspired by travel and cultural experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxuriously Modern Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-coffee-tables.md) - [Statuesque Marble Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mawe-low-coffee-table.md) - [Optically-Designed Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigma-coffee-tables.md) - [Sophisticated Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-table.md) - [Topographic Wooden Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topographic-coffee-table.md) - [Japandi-Style Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloth-coffee-table.md) - [Topographical Recycled Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-coffee-tables.md) - [Blurred Bold Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blur-coffee-table.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md)
