# Light-Up Furniture The Lighting Table Series by Bae Seh Wa is Beautifully Bright By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-table References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/the_amazing_furniture_works_of_bae_seh_wa_part_2_16887.asp) & [sehwabae](http://www.sehwabae.com/) I enjoy simplicity as much as I enjoy the whimsical side of life, and Bae Seh Wa combines both of these features in his Lighting Table series. Without sacrificing a simple, even minimalistic design, he has created an undercover persona that is cleverly revealed at the [flick of a switch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap-tap-table-lamp). The Korea-based designer used [acrylic and wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel) to create the Lighting Table series. There is no hint at the designs that lay beneath their surfaces; they seem to magically appear when illuminated.
