# Ancient Oak Furniture Table 0007 by Braun & Braun is Carved Out of a 350 Year Old Tree Trunk By Meghan Young | Published 2014-03-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-0007 References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/007674.html) & [archiproducts](http://www.archiproducts.com/en/products/125379/solid-wood-table-0007-holz-elf.html) The Table 0007 may look modern, but it is made out of a 350 year old oak tree. While many will find that fact on its own impressive, it gets even better. No glue or nails were needed in the creation of Table 0007 because it is a single piece made out of a single tree trunk. That is how big the tree trunk was. Let's hope the rest of the wood was put to good use. Designed by German-based Christa Braun and Christoph Braun for Holz Elf. the Table 0007 is boasts a lengthy dimension perfect for [large dining rooms and conference halls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-dining-furniture). Although sleek and simple, the natural splitting of the wood was not filled and the graining is left as distinct as possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Sustainable Furniture:** Furniture made from reclaimed or repurposed materials has the potential to disrupt the furniture industry by appealing to environmentally-conscious consumers. - **Single-piece Furniture:** Creating furniture pieces out of a single piece of material has the potential to disrupt the furniture industry by showcasing impressive craftsmanship and using less resources. - **Natural Wood Finish:** Leaving the natural wood finish of furniture pieces intact has the potential to disrupt the furniture industry by emphasizing the beauty of the raw materials used and appealing to consumers who prefer a more organic aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can innovate by exploring the use of sustainable materials and focusing on craftsmanship to create unique, visually appealing pieces. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can incorporate single-piece furniture and organic, natural wood finishes in their designs to appeal to clients who prioritize sustainability and eco-friendliness. - **Homebuilding:** The homebuilding industry can innovate by offering sustainable, high-quality furniture made from natural, repurposed materials as part of their home packages, appealing to eco-conscious homebuyers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solid-Ash Wooden Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boia.md) - [Aquatic Lake Wood Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snhetta-intersection-table.md) - [Organic Ancient Design Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-to-people-furniture-collection.md) - [Sophisticated Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-table.md) - [Felled Tree Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ptacek-home-chunk-line.md) - [Coiled Timber Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recoil.md) - [Raw Stone-Inspired Jagged Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fels-coffee-table.md) - [Tree Sap-Binding Timber Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvage-and-sap.md) - [Extravagant Handcrafted Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-furniture.md)
