# Sliced Trunk Tables The Twisted Collection by Erwin Zwiers Follows Up His Light Line By Meghan Young | Published 2011-10-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-collection References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/twisted-collection-by-erwin-zwiers/) & [erwinzwiers.nl](http://www.erwinzwiers.nl/) The Twisted Collection looks like it was created by slicing tree trunks horizontally. If that was the case, a lot of really old trees would have had to chopped down to satisfy this line. Luckily, the Twisted Collection is made using a special technique to create the look of tree rings. Designed by Erwin Zwiers, the Twisted Collection is made out of [processed plywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formwork-collection) that was wrapped and molded into a smooth surface to create a compelling composition for these stunning [pieces of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightness-of-form). The Twisted Collection consists of a dining table, a bar table, a side table and seats. It is available in various colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Sustainable Furniture:** The Twisted Collection's use of processed plywood presents an opportunity for sustainable furniture production. - **Organic-looking Furniture:** The Twisted Collection's design presents opportunities for creating furniture that mimics the natural world without harming it. - **Innovative Furnishing Techniques:** The Twisted Collection's unique molding technique presents an opportunity for experimentation with a variety of furnishing materials for unique designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The Twisted Collection's unique and compelling design could have disruptive innovation opportunities in the interior design industry. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The Twisted Collection's use of processed plywood presents opportunities for innovation in sustainable furniture manufacturing. - **Woodworking:** The Twisted Collection's unique production technique presents opportunities for innovation in woodworking and furniture making techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Twisted Wooden Boxed Sideboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deniz-aktay.md) - [Elegant Woodturned Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodturned-furniture.md) - [Minimalist Upcycled Aluminum Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truss-furniture.md) - [Coiled Timber Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recoil.md) - [Metal Sheet Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-side-table.md) - [Organic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-collection-1.md) - [Machete-Cut Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kodai-iwamoto.md) - [Twisting CGI-Designed Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookscrew-sideboard.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md)
