# Painting Transforms into Table Art Becomes Functional With Bildtisch By Going Like Sixty | Published 2007-12-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bildtisch References: [freshome](http://freshome.com/2007/12/21/picture-frame-transforming-into-a-table/) & [ivydesign.at](http://www.ivydesign.at/) Verena Lang had a great idea and made it work. How about a work of art that [converts into a table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection-2)? If you had a [small space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-cafe-table) would you love it? While hanging on the wall, the [Bildtisch](http://www.ivydesign.at)looks like a beautiful piece of art. When the diagonal bar is pulled, it converts into a leg to provide stability. The picture is kept underneath while being used as a table so it’s protected. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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's Driving This Trend - **Art-furniture Hybrid:** The merging of art and furniture unlocks potential for new, multi-functional products. - **Space-saving Solutions:** Innovative ways to save space, such as multi-functional furniture, are in high demand for those with limited living areas. - **Interactive Art Installations:** Art pieces that serve a dual purpose as functional objects create immersive experiences for viewers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The art-furniture hybrid trend presents an opportunity for interior designers to create unique and functional spaces. - **Home Decor:** Space-saving furniture solutions provide a niche for home decor companies catering to small apartment and house owners. - **Art Galleries:** Interactive art installations offer new revenue streams for art galleries seeking to showcase and sell functional art pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multifuntional Modular Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-table.md) - [Sculptural Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-wall-desk.md) - [Compact Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-1.md) - [Puzzling Removable Tray Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-puzzle-table.md) - [Industrial Shapeshifting Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jointable.md) - [Wall-Mounted Two-Legged Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instable-side-table.md) - [Reversable Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse.md) - [Moveable Wave-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/side-table-concept.md) - [Spinning Storage Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table.md)
