It is a quality-made, aesthetically unique, environmentally conscious piece of furniture, which is an asset to inspiring, creative, sustainable living environments. Like all products from Stella Blue Designs, the industrial pipe shelf is constructed by hand using two elements which are clearly visible: 3/4" pipe (salvaged from demolition yards) and [recycled wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formwork-collection). The result is a series of rustic-chic furniture pieces that would look at home in any urban loft or suburban home. If you're looking for decor that is both environmentally conscious and modern and chic, Stella Blue has everything you need. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Environmentally Sustainable Furniture:** There's an opportunity for furniture companies, especially those with an urban or modern design aesthetic, to create furniture made from sustainable and recycled materials. - **Custom-made Furniture:** There's an opportunity for furniture companies to offer custom-made furniture pieces that are designed using salvaged materials and hand-crafted by artisans. - **Rustic-chic Design:** There's an opportunity for interior designers to incorporate rustic-chic furniture pieces into homes and apartments with an urban or modern design aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturing companies can tap into the demand for environmentally conscious products by designing and producing furniture made from salvaged and recycled materials. - **Sustainable Living:** Companies in the sustainable living industry can benefit from partnering with furniture companies that create environmentally conscious products. - **Interior Design:** Interior design companies can incorporate rustic-chic furniture pieces into homes and apartments with an urban or modern design aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Living Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treevive.md) - [Versatile Modern Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utility-shelf.md) - [Modular Contemporary Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv.md) - [Modular Grid-Style Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bend-shelf-by-spenser-atlas.md) - [Minimal Sleek Aluminum Bookstands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-bookstand.md) - [Sculptural Bookshelves Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-bookshelf.md) - [Organic Ancient Design Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-to-people-furniture-collection.md) - [Handle-Equipped Planter Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-plant-shelf.md) - [Sustainable Concise Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tube-collection.md)
