# Bulging Bent Furniture The Welding Wood Collection by Culdesac By Meghan Young | Published 2010-02-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welding-wood1 References: culdesac.es I've never seen anything like the Welding Wood collection. Although I know that wonderful and amazing things can be created out of wood, I've never envisioned something so [sinuously unique yet practical](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrow-collection) as this. Designed by CuldeSac, the Welding Wood series focuses on two [traditional furniture making techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/join-collection): lath joined wood and steam bentwood. Beautifully executed, I again find another reason to love [wooden furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellsbuilt) more so than anything else. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Sinuous Wood Furniture:** The Welding Wood collection showcases a trend of creating uniquely shaped and practical furniture using sinuous wood designs. - **Traditional Techniques Revival:** The CuldeSac's Welding Wood series highlights a trend of bringing back traditional furniture making techniques such as lath joined wood and steam bentwood. - **Wooden Furniture Appreciation:** The Welding Wood collection contributes to a trend of increased appreciation for wooden furniture due to its beauty and practicality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** The Welding Wood collection presents disruptive innovation opportunities for furniture designers to explore sinuous wood designs and revive traditional techniques. - **Woodworking:** The CuldeSac's Welding Wood series opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the woodworking industry by showcasing the potential of lath joined wood and steam bentwood techniques. - **Home Decor:** The trend of sinuous wood furniture seen in the Welding Wood collection offers disruptive innovation opportunities for the home decor industry to incorporate unique and functional wooden pieces into their offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beech Wooden Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silva-collection.md) - [Illusion Organic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siembra-capsule.md) - [Wood-Centric Simple Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collective-collection.md) - [Fluid Wooden Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures.md) - [Curvaceous Linoleum Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linoleum-furniture-collection.md) - [Sculptural Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightness-of-form.md) - [Sculptural Metal Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pul-collection.md) - [Wooden Textural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corrugated-furniture.md) - [Artful Wooden Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knowledge-of-all-dark-things.md)
