# Dolmen-Inspired Furniture Series Weonrhee Designs the Primitive Structures Series of Furniture By Amy Duong | Published 2023-07-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primitive-structures References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/weonrhees-primitive-structures-resemble-functional-dolmen/)  Designer Weonrhee, who is also known as Jongwon Lee launches the new [sustainable project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-up-side-tables) in the form of the Primitive Structures series. It highlights the material that is rooted in his cultural and historical background. The capsule is made up of [small stools and tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-stool) that resemble the look of the Dolmen, which is essentially a single-chamber megalithic tomb that is made up of two or more megaliths in an upright position to support a large flat capstone. The series truly captured the sustainable mindset, noting that it is of high importance. PSL is a down-cycled material, which means that it is recycled in a way that results in a lower value than the original. The result of using this creates a primitive feeling through the pattern and texture.
