# Puzzling Removable Tray Tables The Conceptual 'Puzzle Table' by Siyu Lou Intentionally Comes Apart By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-05-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-puzzle-table References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2022/05/06/a-jigsaw-puzzle-table-lets-you-take-your-food-or-work-away-with-you/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-jigsaw-puzzle-table-lets-you-take-your-food-or-work-away-with-you)  The conceptual 'Puzzle Table' has been designed by Siyu Lou as a furniture piece for the modern home to support inhabitants when working or enjoying a meal. The table consists of a relatively unassuming all-white design that features a series of puzzle pieces that vary in size on the top section of the furniture piece. These puzzle pieces are meant to be removed and used as a small tray for carrying a coffee or even as a lap desk when working from the couch. The conceptual 'Puzzle Table' creates a sense of narrative by immediately making it look unfinished when a piece is removed. This could encourage an inhabitant to hunt it down and put it back in place for a tidier space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modular Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture companies to explore new designs and products that allow customers to customize their own furniture pieces through a modular concept. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** There is potential for furniture businesses to create designs that serve more than one function, such as the 'Puzzle Table' that also doubles as a small tray and lap desk. - **Interactive Design:** There is a growing market for furniture that creates an engaging experience, such as the 'Puzzle Table' that encourages interaction and rearrangement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture companies can create new products and designs that incorporate modularity and multi-functionality concepts like the 'Puzzle Table'. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can recommend and incorporate interactive furniture designs into residential and commercial projects. - **Home Goods Retail:** Retail businesses can showcase and offer unique interactive furniture designs like the 'Puzzle Table' to appeal to consumers in a crowded market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interlocking Puzzle-Like Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-table.md) - [Dynamic Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table.md) - [Jigsaw Puzzle-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md) - [Intersecting Two-Part Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaolin-side-table.md) - [Moveable Wave-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/side-table-concept.md) - [Subtly Smart Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etto-table.md) - [Portable Tray Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taso-tray-table.md) - [Multifunctional Magnetic Folding Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-table.md)
