# Honeycomb-Like Glass Furniture The Homune Table by Michael Young Has an Organic Aesthetic By Meghan Young | Published 2012-09-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homune-table References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2012/09/21/homune-table-by-michael-young) & [michael-young](http://www.michael-young.com/) The amber color of the Homune Table coupled with its [geometric shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-iced-table) make this [stunning piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-table) look like a section of a honeycomb. Granted, the shape is just slightly off, forming diamonds rather than hexagons, but the image is there nonetheless. It isn't, however, its organic aesthetic that makes the Homune Table impressive. Instead, it is the fact that it was completely [handblown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sklo). Created by British designer Michael Young, the Homune Table was crafted in collaboration with the Czech Republic-based glass manufacturer LASVIT. Based on 3D visuals, LASVIT made special steel molds for the glass to be blown into. Crafted out of 36 separate glass fractals, with six different designs repeating six times, the Homune Table is beautiful to behold. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Handblown Glass Furniture:** Handblown glass furniture is gaining popularity for its unique and organic aesthetic, offering opportunities for artisanal craftsmanship and customization. - **Amber Colored Designs:** The use of amber colored designs in furniture is a growing trend, providing a warm and luxurious aesthetic in interior design. - **Geometric Shapes in Furniture:** The incorporation of geometric shapes in furniture design is on the rise, offering opportunities for bold and visually striking pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artisanal Glass Manufacturing:** The artisanal glass manufacturing industry can tap into the demand for handblown glass furniture, offering unique and customizable pieces to consumers. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can utilize amber colored designs to create elegant and sophisticated spaces that evoke warmth and luxury. - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can embrace the use of geometric shapes to create visually stunning pieces that stand out in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crystalline Gem-Like Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-coffee-tables.md) - [Blurred Bold Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blur-coffee-table.md) - [Structural Blown Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lokum-collection.md) - [Shimmering Oceanic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-table.md) - [Herringbone-Inspired Wooden Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herringbone-table.md) - [Colorful Modern Glass Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-side-table.md) - [Acrylic Multicolor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-side-tables.md) - [Wavy Sculptural Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-coffee-tables.md) - [Light-Refracting Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv.md)
