# Flower-Inspired Furniture The Petal Table by Manulution is Romantically Contemporary By Meghan Young | Published 2014-01-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petal-table-by-manulution References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/007497.html) & [manulution](http://www.manulution.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=235&Itemid=490) Adding a touch of nature to the home has never been easier thanks to the Petal Table by Manulution, a Washington, DC-based subsidiary of Rukotvorine (Eng. Handcrafts) company from Bosnia and Herzegovin. As its name suggests, it is inspired by the petals of a flower. Interpreting this aesthetic in a rather unique way, the [small table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-table-designs) is made up of three 'petals' that have been overlaid on top of each other and secured by what can only be dubbed the 'eye' of the flower. Designed by Salih Teskeredzic, it sports [stunning detail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-coffee-tables) on the eye as well as around the edge of each petal. The Petal Table by Manulution is available in [various wood finishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidone) including cherry, walnut and maple. Interestingly, the owner is able to add more petals if desired. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, 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's Driving This Trend - **Nature-inspired Home Decor:** Opportunity for designers and artisans to create furniture and decor inspired by elements of nature, offering consumers a unique and calming aesthetic for their homes. - **Modular Furniture Design:** Potential for furniture manufacturers to develop modular designs that allow consumers to customize and expand their furniture based on their needs and preferences. - **Artisanal Craftsmanship:** Growing demand for handcrafted furniture and decor items that showcase intricate details and craftsmanship, providing opportunities for artisans and small businesses to offer unique and personalized products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture manufacturers to incorporate nature-inspired designs and modular features into their product offerings, catering to consumer preferences for customizable and aesthetic furniture. - **Home Decor Retail:** Opportunity for home decor retailers to partner with designers and artisans specializing in nature-inspired and handcrafted furniture, offering consumers a curated selection of unique and visually appealing products. - **Interior Design Services:** Potential for interior designers to integrate nature-inspired furniture and decor into their designs, providing clients with a fresh and calming aesthetic in their living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curvaceous Abstract Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-table.md) - [Haute Waterlily-Like Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lilypad-table.md) - [Flower-Inspired Enveloping Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flore.md) - [Updated Scalloped Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girard-flower-table.md) - [Curvaceous Animalistic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookpet-coffee-table.md) - [Fabric-Like Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tablecloth-side-table.md) - [Geometrically Informed Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-table1.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lit Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup.md)
