# Stallion-Inspired Side Tables 'Hoof' by Samuel Wilkinson is Inspired by Horse Shoes By Michael Hines | Published 2012-02-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoof-by-samuel-wilkinson References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2012/02/07/hoof-by-samuel-wilkinson-for-tradition/) & [samuelwilkinson](http://samuelwilkinson.com/) Hoof by Samuel Wilkinson is a new line of tables whose legs look as if they've done some time in a pencil sharpener. The sharpened legs of Wilkinson's tables are surprisingly not pencil-inspired; they actually get their pointy design from horses. The sharpened legs of Hoof mimic the way a horse's hoof is sharpened and filed down before it is fitted for a shoe. The [tables were painted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables) before they were sharpened as opposed to being left bare. This is a testament to the craftsmanship of Wilkinson as the point of each leg looks as if it was put through a giant pencil sharpener with no signs of prior paint present. Hoof by Samuel Wilkinson was made for the Danish furniture brand &traditions and debuted at the [Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Equine-inspired Furniture:** There's an opportunity for designers to push beyond the traditional design to create aesthetically pleasing furniture that is inspired by different animals. - **Craftsmanship-inspired Furniture:** Craftsmanship-inspired furniture, like Hoof, can potentially become a new trend as more buyers seek out unique, well-crafted pieces. - **Sustainable Design Trends:** Hoof is an example of how designers can create eco-friendly and sustainable designs with unique details and stylish finishes. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design Industry:** Hoof by Samuel Wilkinson highlights the growing interest for animal-inspired designs that offer a distinct aesthetic and can potentially create a buzz in the industry. - **Interior Design Industry:** Horse-inspired designs such as Hoof have the potential to create unique and innovative interiors that stand out from the traditional designs. - **Sustainable Furniture Industry:** Hoof also shows how the sustainable furniture industry can integrate unique designs and craftsmanship to create appealing and eco-friendly furniture pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shimmering Oceanic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-table.md) - [Sleek Structural Rocking Horses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocking-horse-chair.md) - [Illusory Cracked Base Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-side-table.md) - [Horsehair Fabric Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akar.md) - [Wave-Inspired Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seahorse-coffee-table.md) - [Elegant Tonal Table Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silos-collection.md) - [Curvaceous Abstract Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-table.md) - [Book-Holding Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-sidetable.md) - [Hovering Illusion Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilk.md)
