Mushroom
The Mushroom project is an eco-friendly initiative that repurposes wood scraps from furniture manufacturing into a uniquely designed small side table. Instead of discarding the scraps, they are carefully shaped into wide panels and arranged to form a three dimensional end grain pattern. The tabletop showcases an eye catching cross sectional design using three different types of wood, while the smoothly curved legs resemble a mushroom stem. With a height of 380mm, Mushroom functions as a coffee table or bedside table, giving new value to discarded wood while minimizing waste.
Mushroom Side Table by Hyunjae Noh has been recognized as an innovative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Mushroom Side Table was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2025. The A' Furniture Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition that honors outstanding design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
