Japanese design firm Nendo is set to make waves at the upcoming Milan Design Week with its transparent "wood" table. To celebrate this awesome design achievement, I have compiled a top list filled with the best and most captivating Nendo creations from the Trend Hunter archives.
What I love about all of these designs is that they can be easily enjoyed by everyone. You don't have to be a fourth-year design student (although it couldn't hurt) to appreciate the kickass qualities of a transparent wooden table or living moss wallpaper. Whether you are a big-time design fan or a Nendo neophyte, there truly is something for everyone to love in this top list. Check it out today before today's transparent tabletop becomes tomorrow's old news.
