# Durable Chromatic Furniture Slowwood Relies on Minimalism to Create Elegant Pieces By Ana Lopez | Published 2011-10-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slowwood References: [trendland.net](http://trendland.net/slowwood-designs/) & [slowwood.nl](http://slowwood.nl/) Raw and simple don’t always signify fragile or plain, as the company Slowwood proves with its natural and elegant pieces. Using [solid wood and mineral paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roggbif) from the Netherlands, this furniture illuminates every space. Slowwood has a clear mission to create a line of high-quality, [handcrafted furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodcarving-heritage) that decorates homes with simplicity and elegance. Short, squared and round tables with their legs painted with a single bold color is the prominent style of the line; although, in order to bring out the best of each table, one must color coordinate the piece with its surrounding decoration. Slowwood has an interesting variety of products that with simplicity and style bring innovation and creativity to homes. The delicate interaction of [plain wood with vibrant hues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irish-furniture-design) makes these four-legged pieces a must-have. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 55% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Furniture:** Creating elegant and natural pieces with a focus on simplicity and minimalism. - **Solid Wood Furniture:** Using high-quality, handcrafted solid wood to create durable and timeless furniture. - **Color Coordination in Furniture Design:** Bringing innovation and creativity to homes by incorporating vibrant hues that interact with the surrounding decor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Embracing minimalism and using solid wood to create durable and elegant furniture pieces. - **Home Decor:** Providing opportunities for color coordination and incorporating vibrant furniture pieces into home design. - **Interior Design:** Exploring the use of minimalist furniture and color coordination techniques to create stylish and harmonious living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Elegant Timeless Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timeless-furniture2.md) - [Sturdy Minimalist Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sturdy-minimalist-table.md) - [Textured Pine Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crayon-pine.md) - [Understated Elegant Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woud.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md) - [Simplistic Wooden Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-slab-collection.md) - [Eco-Friendly Scandinavian Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verk-furniture.md) - [Sophisticated Modern Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-furniture-design1.md) - [Timeless Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timeless-furniture-design.md)
