More likely, however, you'll have to approach it and pull out one of its apparently imbedded chairs to discover that one could in fact take a seat. From a distance, this LensAss Architecten piece looks like a [solid rectangular prism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair) with a row of [eclectic wooden dining chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair) lodged into its long sides. Painted white like the dining table, they appear to be cut off just a couple of inches into the seat beyond their backrests. Quite unexpectedly, the [peculiar half-perches are merely decorative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture) backings. They're connected to boxier chairs hidden behind the separate rectangular panels of the false continuous face of the Blue Table. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Embedded Furniture:** Designing furniture pieces that appear seamlessly integrated into another piece of furniture or structure, providing hidden functionality. - **Illusory Furniture:** Creating furniture with optical illusions that deceive the viewer's perception of its intended function or design. - **Disguised Seating:** Designing chairs that are hidden within other pieces of furniture or structures to save space and create a unique and functional design element. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can incorporate the trend of embedded chairs and other illusionary furniture concepts, to create unique and innovative product lines. - **Architecture:** Architects can incorporate embedded furniture into building designs or create structures with illusionary furniture elements to add functional elements in a space where traditional furniture is not feasible. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate embedded furniture pieces or disguised seating into their clients' homes to save space and add unique and functional design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Puzzling Removable Tray Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-puzzle-table.md) - [Floating Component Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-top-chair.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md) - [Unconventional Awkwardly Seated Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncomfortable-table.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Dynamic Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table.md) - [Illusory Disconnected Component Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fly-armchair.md) - [Dual Sculpture Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001.md) - [Sprouting Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-chair-on-grass.md)
