# Acoustic-Inspired Furniture The Sound Waves Table by Kim HyunJoo is Simple Yet Decorative By Meghan Young | Published 2010-12-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-waves-table References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2010/12/sound-waves-table-kim-hyunjoo/) & [kimhyunjoo](http://www.kimhyunjoo.com/) The Sound Waves table is a [simple piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-table) that is inspired by audio acoustics. As you can see, the legs feature curvaceous carvings that shape of a [sound wave](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker). Designed by South-Korean industrial designer Kim HyunJoo, the Sound Waves table is entirely made out of [beech wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boia), which is then varnished with natural paint. Simple yet decorative, it would fit perfectly into any home. I can even imagine it painted for those who want to create a more unique piece of furniture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 34% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Acoustic-inspired Furniture:** The trend of acoustic-inspired furniture presents opportunities for designers to create unique and decorative pieces that incorporate elements of sound waves. - **Curvaceous Carvings:** The trend of curvaceous carvings in furniture design allows for the creation of visually striking pieces that add a sense of movement and fluidity to any space. - **Natural Painted Wood:** The trend of using natural painted wood in furniture design offers an opportunity for eco-friendly and sustainable products that enhance the aesthetic appeal of interiors. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can embrace the trend of acoustic-inspired furniture to offer customers unique and visually appealing pieces that incorporate elements of sound waves. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage the trend of curvaceous carvings in furniture to create captivating spaces that inspire and engage the senses. - **Sustainable Home Decor:** The sustainable home decor industry can explore the trend of using natural painted wood in furniture design to offer eco-conscious consumers products that are both visually appealing and environmentally friendly. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Moveable Wave-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/side-table-concept.md) - [Traditional Chinese-Inspired Wavy Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-collection.md) - [Speaker-Base Table Design Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verre-desk.md) - [Sensory Stimulation Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasix-table.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Undulating Fabric-Topped Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groove-table-concept.md) - [Posh Parametric Wave Soundbars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-soundbar.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md) - [Multifunctional Speaker-Incorporated Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prisoom.md)
