# Twiggy Furniture Sets The RAWtation Furniture Set Brings Nature Back to Industrial Design By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rawtation-furniture-set References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2010/08/26/rawtation-by-adi-zaffran-weisler/) & [sites.google](http://sites.google.com/a/designgroup.co.il/adi-zaffran/) Sitting on trees used to be uncomfortable and dangerous, until Adi Zaffran Weisler came along with his RAWtation furniture set. This furniture set is made out of [molded plastic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altherr-dsile-park) and tree branches. The RAWtation furniture set may not be much to look at, but it definitely shines in other areas. For one, these pieces can’t cost a lot to produce. Melted plastic and tree branches don’t command top dollar on the open-market. I’m all for [cheap furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1) that can be easily produced. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Eco-friendly Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable materials and production methods for furniture. - **Low-cost Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore alternative materials and production processes to reduce costs. - **Nature-inspired Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate natural elements into industrial design for unique and eco-conscious furniture. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce cost-effective and sustainable manufacturing techniques for furniture. - **Materials Science:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Research and develop new environmentally-friendly materials for furniture production. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative and nature-inspired furniture designs for interior spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wood-Mimicking Furniture Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stool-and-table.md) - [Organic Ancient Design Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-to-people-furniture-collection.md) - [Naturalistic Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-nature-collection.md) - [Organic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-collection-1.md) - [Sustainable Sawmill Modular Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-betula-project.md) - [Nature-Inspired Structured Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twig-seating.md) - [Wood-Resembling Recycled Plastic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nardi.md) - [Sprouting Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-chair-on-grass.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md)
