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 selected as a grand illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Mushroom Side Table received the Bronze A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2025. The A' Furniture Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design competition which honors excellent design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
