# Sutured Cracked Furniture The Stitched Table is Youthful, Quirky and Hip By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stitched-table References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/006448.html) & [uhurudesign](http://www.uhurudesign.com/) The Stitched Table is a like a piece of Frankenstein furniture. Hastily sutured, the cracks in the wooden surface are still very noticeable. In fact, the stitches look more decorative than anything else. That is because they are there for decoration. Made out of [recycled plastic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1), the Xs gives the Stitched Table a quirky and playful aesthetic. Created by Uhuru Design, the same New York-based studio that put together the [War Craft](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/war-craft-collection) collection, the Stitched Table is just as full of masculine character. Available in various colors, the 'stitches' match the base, which is made out of powder coated blackened steel. The table top itself is crafted out of one-of-a kind, flitch-cut hardwood slabs in claro walnut, black walnut, english elm, cherry, maple and pine. The Stitched Table is modern and hip. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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's Driving This Trend - **Sutured Furniture:** Opportunity for innovative furniture designs that embrace imperfections and add a unique aesthetic. - **Recycled Materials:** Potential for using recycled plastic in furniture production to promote sustainability and eco-friendly practices. - **Quirky Aesthetics:** Demand for furniture with playful and unconventional designs that stand out in a modern and hip environment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Exploring new techniques to incorporate stitches in furniture designs, offering unconventional and eye-catching products. - **Sustainable Materials:** Opportunity to develop and market furniture made from recycled materials, catering to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating quirky and unique furniture pieces in interior design projects to create visually interesting and captivating spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illusory Cracked Base Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-side-table.md) - [Playful Accent Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table.md) - [Elegantly Crafted Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keyhole-collection.md) - [Rustic Recycled Wood Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primitive-structures-table-design.md) - [Marble Fragment Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miscellaneous-side-table.md) - [Dynamic Strong Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-table.md) - [Interlocking Puzzle-Like Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-table.md) - [Fabric-Like Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tablecloth-side-table.md) - [Mycelium-Crafted Organic Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duk-series.md)
