The geometric shape is built using contemporary digital fabrication technologies that creates a polyurethane coated dense foam table. According to studioINTEGRATE, from the departure point of this intricate pattern smoothly transitions into a three dimensional geometry with the the legs located at the convergence points of the base pattern. With its printed patterns, the [glass top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection) reflects the geometry of the continuous form. This product came as a result of exploring ways to fuse [Islamic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakkas-boytu) art with contemporary modes of computation. Even though it has a gothic look to it, I am sure that this modern take on ancient architecture will bring a contemporary look to every room. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Islamic Art-inspired Furniture:** Designing furniture inspired by Islamic art and patterns can create a fusion of historical charm and contemporary appeal. - **Digital Fabrication in Furniture Design:** Using 3D printing and other digital fabrication technologies can result in intricate furniture designs with unique textures and finishes. - **Incorporating Cultural Influences in Design:** Integrating traditional and cultural influences in furniture design can create unique and visually striking pieces that cater to a diverse clientele. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Designing furniture inspired by historical and cultural influences can cater to a wide range of customers and create a niche in the market. - **Digital Fabrication:** Offering digital fabrication services to furniture designers can provide them with the tools to create intricate and unique pieces. - **Home Decor:** Incorporating elements of traditional and cultural influences in home decor can create an eclectic and personalized aesthetic for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md) - [Blurred Bold Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blur-coffee-table.md) - [Elegant Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-table.md) - [Crystalline Acrylic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel-flare-collection.md) - [Harmonious Helical Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vortex-coffee-table.md) - [Optically-Designed Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigma-coffee-tables.md) - [Splintered Storage Console Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flitter-console-table.md) - [Intersecting Two-Part Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaolin-side-table.md)
