# Severely Slanted Desks The 60 Blue Table Takes an Intense Lean to Stimulate a Space By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/60-blue-table References: [yatzer](http://www.yatzer.com/gone-with-the-wind-XYZ) & [xyz.ge](http://www.xyz.com.ge/60blue.php) Furnishings are often appreciated as passive elements of interiors with which you may interact, but the 60 Blue Table has been designed in such a way that seems to embody more life. Instead of being composed as a sturdy-looking asymmetrical object, the XYZ Integrated Architecture project embodies an assembly that makes the desk appear to be in motion. Now whether it seems that the abstract escritoire is frozen in a moment of sideways collapse or if it's being warped by speedy horizontal movement, the object certainly does not uphold the optical impression of stillness or stability. Of course, the metal 60 Blue Table stands on an illusory firm frame and can quite securely hold all sorts of items on its tabletop and in its little cubby. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Illusory Furniture:** Designing furniture that challenges traditional perceptions of stillness and stability, creating surreal living spaces. - **Dynamic Assemblies:** Developing objects that appear to be in motion, creating dynamic environments that encourage interaction. - **Warped Movement:** Utilizing warped geometric shapes in furniture design, creating a 3D illusion of movement and depth. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Manufacturing and design of avant-garde furniture that incorporates warped movement and dynamic assemblies. - **Interior Design:** Creating stunning environments utilizing the use of illusory furniture. - **Architecture:** Incorporating dynamic assemblies into the design of commercial and residential spaces to create unique visual experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Storage-Packed Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threesix-desk.md) - [Futuristic Sculptural Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arnardo-desk.md) - [Vertical Home Office Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leandesk.md) - [Floating Architectural Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1949-protractor-desk.md) - [Hyper-Customizable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercustomizable-desk.md) - [Rest-Supportive Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-concept.md) - [Minimalist Monochromatic Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arqus-desk.md) - [Leaning Portable Workstation Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leandesk.md) - [Ultra-Chic Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-desks.md)
